- Do you feel like your life is out of balance with “all work and no play”?
- Do you dream of a life that brings you more joy and contentment that you feel today?
- Do you feel like you are a mouse on a wheel?
Life is designing you rather than you are designing your life
As professional women with full lives, we have a lot going on. Juggling work and personal commitments can feel like we like the mouse of the wheel… peddling hard but not getting what we really want.
Our ‘wheel of life’ looks more like a ‘half wheel of life’ overly dominated with work and family demands on our time. Aspects of life like self care, friendship, creativity and spirituality easily fall of the ‘to-do-list’ as we juggle to perform all our roles – perfectly, or nearly perfectly.
As I’ve worked with women on their careers – to create a career that matters, how they design their career in a way that enhances their life becomes really important. We focus on how to create a career that matters that allows them to work on their terms. Often this led to a more in-depth ‘life audit and redesign’.
When talking about how their career could enhance their life inevitably we turn to the degree of support they get from their family and in particular their partner. Too often I have head smart, capable women call their partner their second child. We have ended up with two jobs – our career and our ‘women’s work of childcare and housework’ job. Sadly, the generations that have gone before us have created a legacy that just doesn’t work in a more equal society. It has created the additional challenge of needing to negotiate the reduction in our ‘other job’ hours.
As we think about how long our lives are – 100 years on average now – it’s time to seriously re-think, , re-discover, re-imagine, re-invent and re-design our whole lives. To make it work for us, on our terms.
