Episode Summary:
In this episode of Mondays with Mike, Mike discusses the concept of work-life balance and why he believes it’s largely a myth. He introduces the idea of work-life focus, emphasizing the importance of being present and focused in whatever you’re doing, whether it’s work or personal life. Mike also addresses the seeming contradiction of people preaching work-life balance while also glorifying the hustle, explaining that both can be true at the same time. However, he cautions against being constantly focused on work, even when you’re not at work, and suggests that if you can’t be present in your personal life, it’s better to not be there at all.
