TAKEAWAYS
Maintaining a transactional mindset in the workplace is a massive unlock for winning back time and energy from corporate to live a fuller life
Return-to-office efforts are an opportunity to evaluate your employer and assert your life preferences (set your business case)
Gen Z is challenging traditional workplace norms and advocating for a life-first approach.
We need to consider gender dynamics at home when seeking “balance” (outsourcing tasks can help regain mental peace and capacity)
If you’re stressed and burned out, can you afford NOT to buy back your time and energy?
View your corporate job as an investor in your future self (and business)
Small, concentrated entrepreneurial efforts can transform your entire career trajectory (and life)
