, the fast-paced lifestyle and the competition in the workplace have left no choice for employees to spend more energy to be the best and have a higher salary. Spending less time with family and getting relaxed can have a detrimental effect on workers' mental health.
To solve these issues, individuals must manage their schedules and dedicate themselves to family and personal activities. Of course, no one can leave one's job and spend the whole day for leisure but they can set up a timetable in which the time dedicated to each activity is limited so they can be more efficient and address all the tasks.
