That’s not a typo.

Imbalance, asymmetry… that’s life. We are focusing on different subjects. And one of them is “work”.

But what is work?

It’s much easier to define than what is love. 🙂

From the dictionary definition of work:

• “activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result”.
• “a specific task, duty, function, or assignment often being a part or phase of some larger activity“.

So, work is something we do. Work is not only money related activities. If you do the laundry, take garbage out, wash the dishes, that’s all work. It’s part of your daily activities. We can also do volunteer work and have side projects.

I believe in “work-life imbalance” because it’s just a matter to understand where we are. I was kinda in 60% life and 40% work relation. Now I believe this is changing.

I see myself studying more, reading more, because I want to activate new projects. I’m not losing track of my life neither missing kids routine… some nights I’m missing dinner time because I’m giving some classes, but they are short term courses.

I understand the process better because I’m writing daily about my feelings, journaling at some point of the day. Usually it’s the first thing I do after I wake up. Being conscious about my life is the most important aspect to me.

I’m moving the needle to a 55% work and 45% life relation now. I will work a bit more daily and also weekends until end of June/2024. The maximum I expect is 70% work and 30% life relation if I see that results are increasing. I have like 3 books to finish writing and 8 courses to record. After that I will start to slow down again.

I understand I can do that now because I’m creating a lot of on demand knowledge and understanding how can I sell my content online. I’m building an audience and understanding how can I sell continuously.

I will also have specific moments where I will do live content and that content will become new courses available on demand. When I get into this point, the expectation is that I will be back to 60% life, or more, and maximum 40% work relation.

It’s pure lifestyle design, as I can Define, Eliminate, Automate and create Liberation. It’s the DEAL, from the Four Hour Work Week classic.
