Marcel Fernandes describes constantly splitting his attention between work and home, his mind at the beach when he's in the office and vice versa.

I really struggle being present in the moment wherever I am. So when I'm at the beach with my family, I'm thinking office, office, office. When I'm in the office, I'm thinking beach, beach, beach. And so, you know, my family gets frustrated because I'm not being able to be present with them and enjoy the time with them because I'm thinking office, office, office. And then at the office, my work suffers and I can't be as productive as I'd like because I'm thinking beach, beach, beach. So I learned from my mentor Jim Rohn back in 2017 a very important principle. He said, wherever you are, be there. When you're at the beach, be at the beach. When you're at the office, be at the office. When you work, work. When you play, play. Don't mix the two.
