The Reluctant Entrepreneur - Balance


Listen Later

Are we getting a bit too judgey about work-life balance?

Jacen gets fired up about the misconceptions of work-life balance becoming an achievable state and Diana points out some of the judgments that can come along with overanalyzing misuse of the term.


We break apart the term to look holistically at what this balance means for our entrepreneurs who tend to put a high percentage of their time into work. Use reflection to track satisfaction with your allocations over time. What one person may classify as over-working, maybe someone else’s norm.

In this episode we referenced:

·  The Life Wheel is a common life coaching exercise.

· The Todoist has a great breakdown of Time Blocking, a calendar management technique.

· “Have you ever been too busy driving to stop for gas?” is a familiar Stephen Covey idiom.

· GSD is a phrase to step into gear, but what Jacen really meant was the GTD method, which is a productivity methodology by David Allen. (Affiliate Link)

· Bullet Journaling is a type of quick note-taking and organization by Ryder Carroll.
