How I Work - Un podcast de Amantha Imber

Catégories:

Work-life balance. We’ve all heard the phrase — but how do you actually achieve it? And more importantly, is it even possible when it feels like everything’s urgent and important?  It sounds simple: prioritise your tasks and sort them out. But the real challenge lies in knowing what truly matters. In the whirlwind of competing demands from work, family, and life, how do you decide what gets your time and attention?    In this Quick Win episode, I revisit a powerful conversation with Ariel Garten, neuroscientist, entrepreneur, and founder of Muse — to unpack her refreshingly honest approach to prioritisation in the face of constant demands.  Ariel and I discuss:  How Ariel approaches prioritisation from both a big-picture (annual/quarterly) and micro (daily) perspective  Why value-based decisions matter when you’re torn between business, family, and personal needs  The relief of having some decisions made for you, and accepting the limits of your time and capacity  How embracing imperfection and setting boundaries can actually create more meaningful opportunities  Listen to the full interview with Ariel here.    Connect with Ariel via LinkedIn, Instagram, and X (Twitter).
