Ep. 107 What Even Is Work-Life Balance?

“Be where your feet are.” That’s our ultimate goal in ‘balancing’ time with our kids and time at work. What does that look like? Well, we are a work in progress figuring it out!

What We Do Know: 

• Listen to yourself – notice stress and exhaustion
• Be open to the help
• Notice when to say no
• Connect with child(ren) before work
• Live your tech life out loud, so your kids know what you’re doing
• Block schedule – then it’s not scattered and you can get more done (still room for spontaneity)

The things you want to do: Can you change your expectations of them and do them on a smaller scale with kids around? Maybe it’s not a hot yoga class, but maybe you can do a 15-minute yoga video at home, for example!
