Is achieving a work-life balance a realistic goal in today’s modern age?

It can often feel like there is no winning when it comes to balancing all areas of your life. Working long hours usually results in less sleep. You have more time for meetings, but less time for friends and family. But there’s good news. It’s possible to give every area of your life the attention it needs so you can thrive.

Our guests today are more than familiar with this dilemma and they’ve found a way around it. Michael and Megan Hyatt are a father-daughter team who run Full Focus, a company dedicated to helping high achievers live their best lives. They’re here to talk about their book, Win at Work and Succeed at Life: 5 Principles to Free Yourself from the Cult of Overwork.

All areas of your life are interconnected. That’s why balance comes down to energy management—not time management. By focusing on the right things, you can get more done in less time. If you’ve been looking for a way to stay ambitious without sacrificing your happiness, this episode is for you.
