When you define yourself and are looking for work – find out – and act out these two separate attitudes.
If you want an 8-1600 job – to live without thinking of work – you want balance, but if you want to catch ideas, solutions, reflect and think – ideate, you need to go for harmony.
What?
Consequences – life have consequences, deal with it – choose balance or harmony. Not a mix.
Balance = you can cut work off completely and no one will suffer.
Harmony = you can not cut your brain-work off – so don’t.
When you want to life – work balance | which is fine for some work-types, be aware. Doctors, nurse, teachers (kind of), builders and construction workers, the type of work where you CAN turn completely off and compartmentalize in an extreme version – and it works out 100%. Great. Do that.
BUT – and this is a BIG but (and in this story we do not want a big one) – if you are a kind of person that want to constantly collect – think and solve now and future problems – you can`t go for a balance. When your work – when you need to – if you choose work where ideas for important solutions at work – come 5 past – what ever worktime you have – you have to understand your work must be harmonized – as in – compartmentalized with choice.
Life is sometimes simple (actually – often) you have – action, choices normally have consequences – deal with it, one way or the other. Don’t bitch – act.
Life and Business – is that about Management as balanced, and leadership – harmony?
Sport – is – a mix? For the time you do sport – maybe?
Learn to deal with it – compartmentalize, your choice. You have one – your life choice is then – your inner voice.
(Compartmentalize – in this text – simply mean extreme focus – put things in boxes – everything, feelings, stress, emotions – thoughts, actions – everything | flow is how you go, then).
