5 ways to get the work-life balance you need
In this connected world, it’s all too easy to let work obligations cut into your personal time. While greater flexibility is crucial for many, it’s important not to let the idea of ‘working from anywhere’ lead to ‘always on the clock’. If you’re looking to bring more balance back into your life, start with these five tips.
track your time
The first step to reclaiming balance is to find out where the imbalance lies. Put some effort into tracking your time for a week or two and see where and how it is being used. Many companies have online time-tracking tools that you
can trial for free. Do some research to find the one that works best for you. Take this information and see if you can lessen distractions throughout the workday so that it doesn’t start crossing-over into your evenings or weekends.
set boundaries
Prioritize your schedule and communicate your availability with colleagues and clients. Being clear on your work hours and response times will help reduce the need to check on work after hours or on your time off. If there is a need to check in after-hours, set a specific hour to do so and time limit for your responses.
schedule breaks
Add breaks to your daily calendar so that not only is your time blocked off, but you’ll also get reminders that a break is needed. Whether it’s a 15-minute stand up and stretch or an hour-long lunch with a walk and some fresh air, taking time away from your desk will increase your overall productivity, help with creativity and reduce levels of stress.
automate tasks
With today’s technology, automating tasks is a safe and reliable timesaver. For those that run their own business, cloud-based accounting

software, such as FreshBooks, can save you time by automating processes to create invoices, track expenses and calculate taxes, leaving more time to focus on the rest of the business.
set priorities
Plan your day the night before and prioritize your tasks by their importance and urgency (high, medium and low) along with how much effort will be involved to complete them. Once the priorities are set, block out time on your calendar for the high and medium ones and the lower priorities can be worked on in between.

top tips for tax-filing season
The deadline for filing your 2024 income tax and benefit return is April 30, 2025. Are you ready?
It’s important to file on time. By doing so, you can avoid delays or interruptions to any refund, or benefit and credit payments you’re eligible for. If you have a balance owing,
you’ll avoid penalties and interest by filing and paying on time.
Here are some tips to help you this tax-filing season.
assistance for lowerincome households
You could get free tax help if you have a modest income and a simple
tax situation, such as if your income comes from employment, a pension, social assistance or scholarships.
Across Canada, community organizations and volunteers can provide free tax clinics through the Community Volunteer Income Tax Program. In Quebec, it’s called the Income Tax Assistance – Volunteer
Earlier this year, the Canada Revenue Agency simplified the process for registering for an online account, allowing you to manage your personal tax and benefit and credit information online.
manage your tax affairs online
Earlier this year, the Canada Revenue Agency simplified the process for registering for an online account, allowing you to manage your personal tax and benefit and credit information online.
Now, instead of having to wait for a security code in the mail, you can verify your identity immediately with the document verification service. In your account, you can also quickly and easily update your personal information, like your address, phone number and marital status.
file online
Program. You may be able to find a clinic at your local library, shelter, senior’s centre, band office, or place of worship.
Also, this year, two million letters are being sent to lower-income individuals for a free, secure, invitationonly filing method that can be done over the phone or digitally.
Last year, 93 per cent of Canadians filed their tax return online. Filing online using a certified software program is easy and, in some cases, free. There’s also an option to autofill your return that makes the process even easier if you’re already registered for an online account with the agency.
Plus, if you register for direct deposit and are owed a refund, you could get your payment within eight business days.
changes and new benefits
Every year, there are changes that could impact your income tax and benefit return, so it’s important to stay on top of things. This year’s changes include:
• Eligible first-time homebuyers can now withdraw up to $60,000 from their Registered Retirement Savings Plan (up from $35,000) to buy or build a qualifying home.
• If you operate a non-compliant short-term rental property, you can’t deduct any related expenses incurred during the portion of the tax year where it is non-compliant. For 2024, there is an exception that as long as your property became compliant with the applicable laws of the municipality or province where it is located by December 31, 2024, you are considered compliant for all of 2024.
• If you’re a volunteer firefighter or a search-and-rescue volunteer and completed at least 200 hours of service last year, the amount your credit is based on has increased from $3,000 to $6,000. Learn more about tax-filing changes at canada.ca/taxes-whats-new. ■ — News Canada

4 ways to strengthen your finances
Before you dive into budgeting or investing, have a clear goal in mind. Whether you’re looking to build a better investment strategy to encourage generational wealth, or create a plan that will help launch a business, having an end goal in mind will help guide your financial decisions and keep you focused.
Knowing that the advice you’re receiving is being shared by someone you trust, and who is cognizant of your cultural background can lead to greater confidence in the institution you’re putting your trust in.
plan for the future
Building wealth isn’t only about growing your net worth—it’s about creating a lasting sense of security. Establish an emergency fund that can cover several months of expenses, invest in assets that fit your risk tolerance, and regularly review your progress. By staying proactive, you can adapt to life’s changes while protecting the financial well-being you’ve worked hard to achieve.
consider expert advice
Working with a financial advisor can offer peace of mind, especially if you’re navigating complex decisions like investing, retirement planning, or launching a new venture. Look for professionals who respect your personal values and long-term vision.
look for a bank that works with you
For some, finding a financial institution that can understand the unique financial experience faced
by some cultural groups can be a game-changer. Within the Black Customer Experience Strategy at TD, the bank has developed programs and teams to serve the banking needs of Black communities.
“Canadians in Black communities, like everyone across the country, want trusted financial advice, but the advice each of us needs is unique to our own financial situation, goals, lived experiences and the communities we are a part of,”
Obed Boateng, Greater Ontario regional manager of Black customer experience at TD says. “Knowing that the advice you’re receiving is being shared by someone you trust, and who is cognizant of your cultural background can lead to greater confidence in the institution you’re putting your trust in.”
Your financial journey is deeply personal, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. By focusing on your goals, planning for the future, seeking help and finding an institution that best fits your needs, you could build lasting stability and success. ■
