Work-Life Balance in an Unbalanced World
The “Busy” Breakthrough
Work-Life Balance in an Unbalanced World
For many of us “being busy and getting things done” is exactly where we feel most comfortable. On a good day this feels like high productivity, great time management and lots of creative thinking as we challenge ourselves to fit in even more — more goals, more accomplishments, more responsibilities. Until we find ourselves too busy to eat, too busy to sleep and too busy to tend to the areas of our life that actually matter the most.
Soon, busy turns to “burned out”, and productivity grinds to a halt. Deadlines get delayed and details get missed as we try to keep up with the pressure and unrealistic expectations brought on by that idyllic “busy thinking”.
Comedic, practical, and incredibly insightful, “The Busy Breakthrough” is a crowd favorite that debunks the myth of “work-life balance” and helps audiences recalibrate the illusion of “busy” into healthier, more manageable and increasingly sustainable practices for success.
KEY OUTCOMES & AUDIENCE IMPACT:
