Read: 10 tips for voluntary benefits marketing and sales

Here are our favorite 10 tips for keeping your sanity in marketing and sales.

1. Plan in writing.

Those who write down plans for the following work day spend less time thinking about incomplete work while at home, according to a study published in the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology.

2. Pay attention to where you are.

Keep work time and family time separate.

If you need to spend half an hour in the evening answering email from your home office, do it. But when you're in the room with your family, be present.

3.  Ignore the cult of busyness.

"Almost everyone I know is busy. They feel anxious and guilty when they aren't either working or doing something to promote their work … Busyness serves as a kind of existential reassurance, a hedge against emptiness; obviously your life cannot possibly be silly or trivial or meaningless if you are so busy, completely booked, in demand every hour of the day."

— Tim Kreider, author of "We Learn Nothing"

4. Take a break!

Americans only use around half of their paid vacation and most work even while they're away. Sounds like a perfect recipe for burnout.

5. Think of the big picture.

Australian nurse Bronnie Ware worked for several years in palliative care, and collected the dying epiphanies of the patients she talked to during the last 12 weeks of their lives.

The second most common regret she heard was, "I wish I hadn't worked so hard."

According to Ware, "This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children's youth and their partner's companionship … All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence."

6. Stop checking that darned phone.

Put…down…the phone… The average American checks their smart phone 150 times a day.

7. Others realize the importance of balance.

Work/life balance ties with higher compensation as the top reason employees change jobs, according to Manpower.

8. Take care of yourself.

Go for a run, meditate, catch a yoga class at lunch. When you come back, you'll be far more productive—and happy.

9. Apply it to others too.

Remember that work/life balance applies to your employees and clients, too.

Make sure to encourage your staff to balance their personal life and career by taking a vacation, unplugging or telecommuting. (And remember: leading by example will help them do so.)

10. Meter your email time.

Don't get in the habit of answering emails at all hours of the day.
