Episode notes
Balance Is A Continuous Choice
- Do treat balance as an active process of shifting time and energy, not a fixed ratio between work and life.
- Do audit your health and sleep, then stack tasks (bring kids to chores) to preserve family time when energy is low.
Work Intensity Should Be Strategic
- Reserve energy strategically instead of always operating at a feverish pace; slow plays and bursts both have value.
- Working less frantically can free capacity to focus on the right projects rather than just being busy.
Block Interruptions And Build Buffers
- Do limit interruptions by setting boundaries, removing temptations, and scheduling communication windows.
- Do build buffers into your week so unexpected events don't derail core priorities.
