Consider these few tips to help you balance work and wanderlust:
Master time management
Time is of utmost importance. Through proper time management, you can turn productivity into an art form. Schedule specific periods for work and travel.
Look into various productivity techniques to ensure that work doesn’t slip through the cracks while you are out exploring and quenching your wanderlust.
Put your weekends and holidays to good use
For some, weekends can mean binge-watching a particular series or throughly enjoying the beauty of sleep.
But for eager travellers, they present an opportunity for little getaways to nearby destinations.
Use your weekends and public holidays to take short trips. After all, exploration does not always have to wait for when you have plenty of free time on your calendar.

Explore nearby treasures
Have you tried being a tourist in and around your own city? You do not necessarily need to be at a destination far away in order to enjoy all things touristy. Consider nearby untapped spots and hidden gems that are ready to be uncovered.
Visit local museums and galleries, explore your local food scene or simply take your camera with you for a walk. You will be pleasantly surprised at the beauty of the experience and how it may change your perspective of your city and surrounds.
Embrace flexibility
Flexibility is an important secret weapon when looking to balance work and wanderlust. Things won’t always go as planned. You need to be ready and willing to embrace unexpected changes and opportunities, as well as to adjust your plans and life accordingly.
Prioritize your health
Health is wealth, and your well-being plays an important part in being able to embrace the balance of work and wanderlust. As such, prioritizing your health is important and worthwhile.
Whether you are hitting your local gym or having a morning run on the beach, it is essential to fit exercise into your schedule. Eat a balanced diet and try your best to also engage in mindfulness activities that nurture overall wellness.
