We asked @wandooih what her top 3 tips are on dealing with work-life balance, being a woman with a family. This is what she had to say: 
1. Leave work at work: Develop a mental on-off switch between work and home. This might consist of listening to music or reading a book during the commute or exercising at the gym. You must switch off before you enter your house in order to spend quality time with your family.
2. Schedule like your life depended on it
Set aside 10 to 20 minutes at the beginning of each day (or the night before) to plan your tasks and activities for the day and evening ahead.

@lerustix 1. Be sure of what you want: In the first two years of your career, you should focus on answering the question, “Where would I like to see myself in 5-10 years?” #WomensHistoryMonth #IWD2018 #WomenWithWings #HumansOfOando
@lerustix 2. Strive to be the best at what you do: Continue to improve yourself. Update your knowledge through courses and certifications and put in the extra hours until you can do your job in your sleep. #WomensHistoryMonth #IWD2018 #WomenWithWings #HumansOfOando

Ideally, life ends when we die - but for many, life has already ended even before death. You must remember that many great lives didn’t end when they died – because their great work outlived them.
We call it 'sadaqatu Jariya' in Islam (good deeds of charity that outlive us), a category that I wish to fall into.
