What strategies or habits can help you maintain a healthy work-life balance when your company already offers a relaxed and flexible working environment?

If your company already accommodates a good working environment that's a big part of the battle already won. I suppose things to focus on would be getting exercise and plenty of sleep, and just maintaining a healthy lifestyle. And beyond that, following some intellectual or cultural pursuits outside of work. I know I'd like to get back into my usual reading habits, between lack of time and too much time wasted on my phone I'm not reading books the way I used to.

Yes a great working environment can help you massively and makes such a difference, I went from a bit of a toxic environment to a great working environment and the change was just lovely!

Take care of yourself outside of the job. That looks different for everyone. For me, setting goals outside of my career was a great way for me to maintain a life outside of work that I wanted to live.

Yes this can make a massive difference to how you feel about your day with working being a massive part.

If your company is already being respectful of your personal time, then the best way for you to fully embrace a work life balance is by making the most of that personal time. Make time for friends, hobbies and taking care of your health.

Yes I agree, that does make a massive difference to help you feel great within yourself.

Just because I can work anytime doesn’t mean I should.

Make sure you take full advantage of what's offered. If they're offering it then they're happy for you to take it.

Maxed out Roth IRA contributions when I wasn't eligible for 2021 (got a salary bump mid year). Do I need to recharacterize? It's a very small account that's been open for only two years. That's the only IRA account I own. Do I need to open a traditional IRA and roll over 6k + realized gains into that account and keep the Roth IRA. So confused how this works and got conflicting information from Merrill.
