Are you really working 9 to 5?
Dolly Parton sang about it, but the work on the internet is, that idea has been replaced by a new reality: The Infinite Workday.
The statistics are terrible:
40% of professionals are checking work emails before 6:00 am.
Meetings after 8 PM are up 16% annually.
Outside of normal work hours, the average employee sends or receives 50 messages.
And by 10 PM, nearly a third are back in their work email from home.
What about you?
Do you feel compelled to work 24/7 just to keep up, believing it's the only way to be successful, productive, or respected?
It feels urgent to respond immediately to clients and coworkers.
You might even believe you're simply being a dedicated employee.
Here's the truth: Working constantly wasn't part of your plan, and it's certainly not what you want. And while it may feel necessary, this approach does more harm than good.
Working 24/7/365 kills your creativity,
strains your relationships,
diminishes your actual productivity,
and leads to very real mental and physical health issues.
It's no wonder burnout, stress, and anxiety are rampant!
You Don't Have To Quit. You Do Have To Change.
The real solution for success at work and a fulfilling life is creating work-life balance and boundaries.
I know it feels scary to stop immediately answering texts, replying to emails, or getting a jump on tomorrow's tasks after hours.
It feels like you're risking everything if you're not constantly connected.
❓ What if the opposite is true? What if you're risking everything by continuing this non-stop work? ❓
I can help you quiet those anxious thoughts and feelings so you can finally,
Create a schedule and system for confident, successful, creative, and productive work.
Rebuild relationships with family and friends.
Find time to rest and recharge so you're physically, mentally, and emotionally stronger.
Your life is meant for more than infinite workdays.
