Work/home balance, how do you manage it?

[CraftyGirly90]

Ok so I am in need of some help. I work as a home carer and live with my fiancé but can't seem to find the home/work balance. I work odd hours and by the time I get home from work I'm too tired to do the housework. On my days off I see my family and friends as much as I can and by the time the weekend comes round I'm either too tired or just want the time to relax and not stress over work. How do you all do it? Work and run a home? Any hints and tips will be welcome. Feel I'm at the end of my rope with it now. TIA xx

1. Do less - focus on essentials
2. Make sure you are both doing the housework (apologies if that's already the case - you don't mention it)
3. Get rid of clutter - the less you have, the less there is to clean, put away, work round
