鲁迪·莫尔认为,工作与生活平衡并非一个固定模式,而是因人而异的概念。他挑战了40小时工作制是最佳选择的观点,认为这忽略了个体差异和个人热情。他指出,如果对工作不满意,那是满足感的问题,而非工作与生活平衡的问题,需要找到自己热爱的事业。他强调投入与产出成正比,在一定范围内增加工作时间可以提高效率,但长时间工作存在边际效用递减。他以顶级运动员为例,说明高强度训练是成功的关键,这与工作效率的提升类似。他认为,有些人以工作与生活平衡为借口逃避努力工作,要远离负面意见,专注于自身目标。他指出,不同目标需要投入不同时间,不能用统一标准衡量,追求事业成功并非线性过程,工作时间会随着阶段变化而调整。他建议要根据自身目标和业务阶段调整工作强度,高目标需要高投入。长期努力工作,最终可以获得更大的工作与生活平衡。他认为,工作与生活平衡需要灵活性和良好的沟通,要设定清晰的预期,并与周围人沟通,使他们理解你的目标和努力。他强调要建立属于自己的梦想生活,而不是被他人定义。他总结道,工作与生活平衡取决于个人选择,没有对错之分,工作时间与结果之间存在关联,但最终的决定权在于个人。

Shownotes Transcript

Bienvenido a Miami! Our Man in Red is coming to you live from his new Miami office – and things are popping off if you’re Living The Red Life. Today host Rudy Mawer is talking about how to achieve a Work/Life balance – which can be challenging at the best of times!

Rudy is challenging the blanket assertion that a 40-hour work week is what is best for you. 

If it’s doing a job you don’t enjoy just to pay the bills, then what you have is a fulfillment issue rather than a work/life balance one – and you need to find ways to follow your passion and work on something where the hours won’t matter. 

Input equals output, and we can’t always look at the 40-hour work week in isolation. Rudy is opening our eyes to the bigger picture of what else we need to consider before letting other people tell us what is healthy in terms of a work/life balance. 

What do you need to do right now for the season of business that you’re in — in relation to the goals that you have set for yourself? Game-changing advice and insights are just inside the doors of Wonderland. Come on in and join us!

“I’m always against blanket statements because they don’t account for individual variability, right? And they don’t account for – probably like you – individual passion.” ~ Rudy Mawer
