Chrissy Myers argues work-life balance is a myth. Instead, pick your rocks: one speaker made her son the priority, protecting after-school time no matter what work demanded. The rest fits around it.
You're building a business, you're raising a family, you're leading a foundation. I mean, let's be honest, like, balance doesn't exist, really. So how do you decide where your energy goes on any given day?
I would like to use the example. And you probably know this example of taking a jar and you put the rocks in first. Yes. Right. So the rocks, for me, are first our son. So I made a very active decision before he started kindergarten that. When he got off the school bus. And he's not in kindergarten anymore. Years ago. Yeah. But he knows that I'm not, like, coming into my office, shutting my door and shutting him out. Right. So that was an active decision I made. So that's sort of how I prioritize, and that's sort of how I deal with some of the balance, mostly because the rocks have to be in there before anything else can be in there. And if you don't, you kind of end the week and you're like, oh, crap, I missed that thing, or, I didn't do the thing for Cub Scouts, or, like. And that feels bad. So even though I don't want to let anyone down, like, there are times where something has to. To get the rocks in. Right.
