Anthony Goldner argues that balance is a myth. Instead, he advocates going all-in on whatever you're doing right now: put the phone away when you're with your kids, fully focus when you're working. He claims this undivided attention is how you actually reach your goals.

We need to get out of the state of trying to be balanced and trying to be comfortable. Let's not do it. Let's be all in on everything we're doing. Right now, I am all in on this podcast. Right in this sphere, this is podcast, podcast, podcast. Once I leave here, I'm going to go pick up Jackson and Laney, and then I'm going to be all in on the family. All in. So the phone is going to be put off to the side. I'm not going to answer it. I'm going to be all in with them. When I go to work tomorrow, all in on work, nothing else. That is how you can be harmonious in your life and you can reach those dreams and those goals that you have.
