This YouTube monologue (by Jacqueline Elliott) reflects on being "one-dimensional"—defined as focusing only on work—and argues for balancing concentrated work time with family life. The speaker claims concentrated effort can make 4 hours of focused work more productive than a longer (e.g., 12-hour) day and sketches the idea of being fully present at work versus fully present at home.

Are you one dimensional? What goes on in your life? Are you just focused on work or can you have that life outside of work as well? If you were to work and you were to really be at work 100% of the time and really give it your all and he goes and breaks down the hours that you're at work and the time and all that other stuff and how much time you're like kind of just at a country club and just talking to people and just kind of, you know, doing your thing and if you really worked you really get some work done. Like I believe that I can get more work done in four hours than I could in a 12:12 work day for most days and for most because you know you're concentrating on work and when you're home you're giving it your all to your kids. So that's what part of being one dimensional is. So we don't want that.
