The Importance of Being Unreachable

Being unreachable is essential for maintaining a balance between work and family life. Charles De Gaulle, a successful head of state, exemplified this by setting clear boundaries between his work and personal life. After leaving the office, De Gaulle made himself almost completely inaccessible, allowing his time with his family to be his own. Similarly, when De Gaulle was at work, his family respected his boundaries. By being unreachable, we can be fully present in the moment, whether it's enjoying a meal with our family or focusing on work tasks without constant interruptions.
