Work/Life Balance. How is yours? Good? Decent? Middling?
Let’s be honest, most of us suck at it. Well, David Finkel doesn’t.
David is a Wall Street Journal bestselling author of 11 books and CEO of Maui Mastermind. His new book, The Freedom Formula: How to Succeed in Business Without Sacrificing Your Family, Health, or Life is all about striking this Work/Life balance right, and I thought he would be a great guest to come onto the podcast.
Oh, and he was. I love guests like David, who take an insightful approach to their work, but based on a foundation of honest, frank work. My BS radar didn’t go off at all with this one.
In this episode of Conversations With Bacon, we get into a range of areas, including:
- Why working longer and harder doesn’t pay off (and what actually does)
- Why the 80-20 principle doesn’t go far enough (and how to take it to its most productive extreme)
- How to operationalize the work/life balance
- How to escape the “time and effort” economy
- How to structure the day and week to reclaim five or more hours each week in usable blocks
- What strategies to utilize to recover time and attention from distractions
There is a lot in this for all of you. Definitely give it a listen. Enjoy!
