3. How To Redesign Your Life
I think millennials and Gen Z get it about placing an emphasis on the life part of the so-called work-life balance.
Many of them believe life is short.
Those of us in our late 40s, 50s, and older--our generations—see things differently because that’s not how we were raised. We went headfirst into the work part of the so-called work-life balance. We conformed to it, were sauteed in it, and didn’t question it.
But some of us do get it.
Some of us have the resources and/or the skills to make some changes and we have—and by us I mean those of us in our late 40s, 50s, 60s, and older Some of us are intentionally redesigning our lives. I’m one of the us I’m talking about here.
