You Should Avoid Having A Typical Day: Here’s Why

/

What does a typical day look like for you?

It’s a question I’ve asked of hundreds of CEOs and top business leaders around the world. They almost always tell me the same thing: they don’t have a typical day. Every day is different. The most successful business leaders surround themselves with a diverse group of people, they are a part of a variety of projects, they attend different meetings, speak with customers and employees, and they make sure that they aren’t doing the same thing and seeing the same people every single day.

There’s More To Life Than Work

/

It is so easy to get caught up in the day to day of work. Most of us work at least 5 days a week and 8-10 hours a day, some of us work even more than that. It’s not hard to see why we can sometimes feel like work is the only thing we are doing in life.

Work Life Balance Vs. Work Life Integration

/

There used to be a time where work and life were kept separate and they did not overlap. Once you got home at 5pm everything that happened at work was put to the side and you focused on your personal life. But today there’s no longer boundaries between work and life.

Should We Focus on Work/Life Balance or Work/Life Integration?

/

This episode of the Future in 5 takes a look at whether we should focus on work/life balance or work/life integration. Work/life balance is an interesting topic because it is very individualistic. There is also this discussion about work/life integration because we are starting to bring more of our lives with us to work and more of our work home to our lives. My perspective is it doesn’t really matter. In this episode I share why I believe that instead of focusing on work/life balance or work/life integration, organizations need to focus on giving employees the opportunity to customize and control how they get their jobs done instead of telling them how they should be working. Listen in and tell me where you stand on this subject!
