It’s been more than 2 months since I started my new job. The time has flew by me. My focus for the past 2 months has been to get used to the new job and city. I put a lot of my personal goals on hold so that I could focus more on getting used to the new life.
Finally, after 2 months I do feel settled. I am enjoying the job I do and I feel familiar with living in Tokyo. Everything seems really good. Now the tough part is finding a work-life balance.
My company definitely gives priority to this. I have ample time to focus on myself and my goals. The only problem is that for the past 2 months my focus has been completely on work. I have enjoyed the new role a lot so it didn’t bother me that much. I certainly wasn’t pressured to just think about work. I did it by choice.
But now I have to shift focus. I have to bring back my personal goals. I have to find a balance between both. It will be tough. I have a lot of different goals to hit. It’s not easy to fit all of them in. I hope I can do it.
If you are in a similar situation as me, my first advice would be to find a job that you like to do. Also, find a job that prioritizes your personal life. If you have these two it would be easier to fit your personal life.
