I'm a little bit of a perfectionist and a workaholic in that way. But I realized the hours were kind of never the problem. It was my sense of fulfillment. And it wasMy sense of flexibility. That's the most beautiful thing this lifestyle offers is that you can decide when you wake up. You can decide how much effort you really put in, which is correlated with your output. The world has become more globalized and innovative and entrepreneurial. So our work should as well. Even stable jobs no longer provide the security that we are often sold or that we crave.
Many of us in our 20's have become disillusioned with the 9-5 lifestyle and the reality of working an office job for the rest of our lives. Psychology shows us that the 9-5 job is not only inefficient but unnatural, leaving us feeling burnt-out, unmotivated, detached from the things that matter and searching for an alternative that offers both freedom and flexibility. This week, I talk about my own journey of leaving behind my 9-5 job and pursuing the podcast full time; from why I made my decision, what the transition has been like and my advice and tips on how you can do the same. Listen now to understand why you should quit your 9-5.
