Deep Questions with Cal Newport
Embrace Autonomy Through Lifestyle Design
As you progress in your career, you gain the autonomy to make choices about your life, especially in your 30s. This period is ripe for evaluating your living situation and work-life balance. By achieving excellence in your field, you can negotiate aspects like remote work and reduced hours, leading to a more desirable lifestyle. It's essential to engage in lifestyle-centric planning, envisioning the characteristics of your ideal life—where you want to live, your daily rhythms, relationships, and how you spend your time. Drawing inspiration from real-life examples can help clarify this vision. Start by defining your perfect lifestyle for the second half of your 30s and then work backwards to create a roadmap to achieve it.
