Abstract
Finding a balance between life and work can be challenging for extension professionals. No matter how much we love our jobs, the never ending to do lists, client demands and institutional requirements can leaves us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Prolonged periods of unbalance can lead to burnout and extreme dissatisfaction with our careers. There is good news, with just a little planning, you can find balance and love what you do again. This presentation will focus on simple tools such as setting priorities and goals, saying no and asking for help that all extension professionals can use to find balance.
