This Father’s Day, get dad a gift that will help him stay organized in his work life and let loose with family when the workday is done. Below are five tips to help your do-it-all dad with work-life balance. —Vita Daily

Invest in the right tools: Dad’s workload can seem never-ending without the right tools. Many spend hours grinding away at the desks of their at-home offices for longer than they need. The Epson EcoTank ET-4850 ($650) is a must have to help tackle the workday with high-capacity ink tanks, impressive print quality and overall ease of use. Let’s face it, dad doesn’t have time to worry about low ink levels when balancing working from home and family time. Epson’s line of EcoTank printers comes with up to two years’ worth of ink in the box (based on average monthly document print volumes of about 200 pages)—perfect for keeping up with his busy lifestyle.

Get organized: The more organized dad’s home office space is, the more efficient he’ll be throughout the workday, giving him more time to enjoy with the people he loves. Keep papers divided in a labelled, colour-coded filing system to help separate different accounts, projects and even the crafts that have been collecting dust.

Stay connected: When working from home, it’s easy for dad to become disconnected from his colleagues. Although there’s a time and place for emails and direct messaging, video calls are a great way to stay connected and foster a sense of togetherness with co-workers. The Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-FH02 Full HD 1080p Smart Portable Projector ($820) takes virtual business meetings to the next level with Full HD 1080p picture and best-in-class colour brightness. Seeing everyone projected on a big screen will make dad feel just like he’s back at the office—without the office commute.

Set boundaries: When the office door is closed, that means it’s work time! It’s hard for kids to remember that even though dad is just on the other side of that door, he’s still at work. Drawing clear boundaries can help.

Take breaks to avoid burnout: As the old saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup! In order to show up as his best self with his colleagues and family, dad has to take care of himself- which includes taking time to relax. There’s nothing better after a long day of work than kicking your feet up and relaxing in front of the TV. At the end of the remote workday, the Epson EpiqVision Flex CO-FH02 Projector can quickly transition out of corporate mode and into the family’s home theatre or living room for dad to have alone time or family time without hassle. Breaks like these allow dad to feel refreshed and ready to tackle any day.
