In this episode, I discuss the core part that's behind my success with reaching a good work-life balance (imagine having 2.5 months of summer holiday, for example) and whether it's possible to achieve that faster than I did.

Throughout the episode, I've mentioned my email list that you can join to discuss work-life balance with me and network further. So, if you want to join, visit my website, the part for educators: https://www.veronikaskyemaths.com/educators

To provide the best services, do what you know best. I applied this to tutoring A level Maths. In this episode, I will tell you how it actually works and why it's good for you, as well as the clients, to focus on what you want to do and work with the right students.

P.S. Do you tutor A level Maths mechanics and/or statistics? Be in touch, my students might be waiting for your help.

My thoughts about working for tuition agencies and how it aligns with work-life balance. Is it worth it, or should you find your own students? And what if you want to earn more than the agency offers (or can realistically pay you, even if you'd be in charge of what you want to be paid)?

I'm not the one with a high command over AI, but recently, I created this prompt in my favourite text-based AI (that'll be Gemini), and it produced really good results, so I want to share it with you.

Clearly, this will be handy only for those who don't have a high command over English 😄 (hello, fellow foreigners...)

And my spruced-up blog posts will be on my to-do list now. Here we go, one step away from my foreigner English and one step closer to a normal English 😄

THE PROMPT:

Here's my blog, where I write about maths/add what you write about: [enter your own blog link]

Can you scan all the blog posts linked from there?

Can you help me to polish my blog posts? I want you to closely follow my writing style and tone of voice but change any clear mistakes regarding the English language - such as typos, wrong grammar, and unclear/complicated expressions which may not make sense to English-speaking readers.

Don't worry about any links, I'll change them manually from your plain text. Try to keep formatting (bold, underlined, italic), no need to worry about headline formatting (again, I'll do that manually).

Let's try it with this first blog post: [enter your own blog post and evaluate how closely the AI text is to your own post]

When I discovered a way that gives networking more shape and purpose, I had to share this with you. Just a fair warning: this episode is extremely "fuzzy" because my brain is still spinning from the whirlwind of new information.

I mentioned two names, Angela Henderson and Zach Spuckler, if you want to look them up. They modelled beautifully what I'm talking about in this episode.

And when you here my prompt in the end, I said I'll share a way to reach out if you want to. Right now, the best way to get connected is through my mailing list: worklifebalance.veronikaskye.com

Speak soon!

This a bold statement that I truly believe applies to good, honest people and their businesses. Networking can have many forms and shapes, so you can choose what works for you.

You may be surprised what your superpower is (it may be so secreted that you don't even know about it). And while speaking of superpowers, let's look at the anti-powers, too. Are they really that bad? And what to do about them?

A different take on why work-life balance is beneficial - and not only to yourself but also to (pretty much) everyone around you. And while there's no secret formula to achieve work-life balance, I spill the beans more in detail in places beyond this podcast.

A little story about when I was at a concert and how it relates to our natural feeling of wanting to stay in our comfort zone and to not stand out. And what happens when you do.
