Work-Life Balance is a Myth: Manage Your Time Defensively | Episode 56
You've heard the buzzword, but "work-life balance" is a fantasy, it's about setting boundaries and managing expectations to protect your time and prevent burnout. Mamuna and Lola, recording IRL for the first time, unpack the mindset shift needed to prioritize output over presenteeism in the demanding world of tech.
💡 We cover:
· Why asking about holiday policies in interviews is a power move, not a mistake.
· Exposing the toxic "996" hustle culture and why it's unsustainable ego-swinging.
· The difference between work-life balance and work-life management.
· How to use your calendar defensively to block out non-negotiable personal time (like family pickups and appointments).
· Focusing on measurable outputs instead of succumbing to presenteeism.
