109. Work-Life Balance Is a Lie: 3 Better, Way More Practical Ways to Think About Balance
Description
Everyone says you need balance. But what if the entire concept of “balance” is nonsense in the first place?
In this episode of the Learn and Work Smarter podcast, I break down why traditional work-life balance theory doesn't work, and more importantly, what you should do instead. Specifically, I'm giving you three practical frameworks that are way more realistic than trying to give equal time and attention to everything, every single day.
What You Learn:
- The four fundamental problems with traditional balance that make it impossible to achieve
- Why daily balance is the wrong goal (and what timeframe actually works)
- How to stop dividing yourself into competing pieces
- The power of naming what season you're in
- Why guilt about imbalance means you're measuring the wrong thing
