Maintaining a work-life balance when working online can be challenging, but it is surely achievable. To prevent burnout, detox from your gadgets, especially social media. Here are some pointers to help you strike a better balance:

1. Create a To-Do List: This will allow you to prioritize things and prevent being overwhelmed.
2. Take Breaks in Between: Enable yourself to rest and recharge during the day.
3. Get Adequate Sleep: Staying well-rested will help you focus and be more productive.
4. Eat a Healthy, Balanced Diet: Nourishing your body promotes total health.
5. Set Boundaries: Limit the number of tasks you accept to avoid taking on too many.
6. Communicate with Positive People: Spend time with people who inspire you and improve your life.

Even when you are a solopreneur (solo entrepreneur), you still need helping hands. If you do not want to build a team, you can hire virtual assistants or part time staff. It is not possible to run a business entirely by yourself, you need someone to assist you. In case, you still want to do everything by yourself, you need time management skills. You need to find time for everything from creating/finding products to sell to marketing your products.
