This is a lesson every leader needs to learn, and I've certainly relearned it many times! Probably have many more to go, too! Ha! I love the book “Overworked and Overwhelmed” by Scott Eblin for its excellent practices and recommendations! Any books that you recommend? I am always looking for more research backed practices and insights to integrate into my personal work and my writing at The Messy Human.
This is a great post. I struggled with work-life balance at one point. I cracked two teeth from grinding my jaw in my sleep. I was under a lot of stress at the time. But that was the wake-up call I needed. I saw that there were limits to my body and what I could do. This valuable lesson led me to find my passion for road cycling.
Now, I make time for all my rides (up to 12 hours a week) and treat it as a part of my job. I also am part of a wonderful community who share my love for the sport. It's made me very happy and acts as an outlet where I can channel all my frustration, desire, or aggression, and now I sleep like a baby at night. Plus, I still have the rest of my teeth.
