Friend, are you on a never-ending search for more "balance" in your life?
I'm talking about the often discussed (yet rarely found) work-life balance. That thing that almost everyone wants, searches for, and follows conventional wisdom on how to get.
You know the typical strategies I'm talking about. Learning to manage your time better. Implementing productivity strategies. Having a more flexible work schedule (maybe even working from home more).
Let me ask you something...
How well are these "solutions" working for you?
Early in my legal career, I was convinced that if I just learned to manage my time better, implement some killer productivity strategies, and work from home more often, I'd finally get to that mythical place of "balance".
Unfortunately, things kept getting worse (not better). So, what did I do? I doubled down on them, of course. And kept getting the same results.
Eventually, I realized that "balance" is impossible (at least in the traditional sense of equalizing two sides of a see-saw). And that was actually freeing - because it allowed me to question whether that's what I even wanted.
It turns out that I didn't need or want to be "balanced". I wanted something else entirely.
Peace of mind. Replacing chaos with calm. Freedom. Energy. Space to think. More time. Career AND personal success (at the same time). Fulfillment. The ability to make a positive impact.
None of that involves balancing one piece of my life with the rest of it.
What if "balance"
isn't what you're looking for either? Could it be that you've been led
down a false trail of "fixes" by trying to find something you don't even
want (or need)?
If you're ready to STOP searching for balance and instead finally figure out what you want (and go get it), go read the article now. In it, you'll find out: - Why traditional work-life balance "solutions" aren't solving your problems (and may actually be making things worse)
- The 3 things you're really looking to find instead of "balance" (I call them the 3 P's)
- 3 solutions that will help you find what you're really looking for.
It's time to challenge traditional thinking on this and get to where you really want to be. So, go read the article and let me know your thoughts if it hits a chord with you. Also, do a girl a favor and SHARE it with your friends and family if you like it (I'd truly appreciate your support).
Until next time...
