Feel like you're always behind and never enough? Blame work-life "balance."
Friday, 16 January, 2026
I’m doubling down on the live grenade I tossed into the room when I said work-life balance is bullshit, and in this mini-episode I unpack why building our work around our lives still doesn’t mean balance is the answer. I share why the pursuit of work-life balance only leads to guilt, why in our hyper-connected, post-pandemic hellscape it’s not just futile but meaningless, and how chasing equal time between work and life can leave us miserable. I also dig into the shift that changed everything for me after reading Four Thousand Weeks, why I’m no longer interested in balance but fulfillment, and how embracing a conscious, strategic imbalance might be the only way to create meaningful work, be at peace with how I spend my time, and avoid wasting these four thousand weeks.All that in more in my latest Substack → Feel like you're always behind and never enough? Blame work-life "balance."When you're done, I'd love your thoughts here in the comments!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-zack-arnold-podcast/exclusive-content
