Your Uncommon Life

Working from home is more common than ever, so the lines between work and home life can easily become blurred. It’s up to you to unapologetically protect yourself and set clear expectations with strong work boundaries. After 12 years in corporate America, including several years in leadership positions, I have developed no-conflict tactics to set boundaries that maintain my sanity while still enabling me to be a good employee.
This is part of a series called “Lessons from a corporate life.” The other episodes in the series are episode 2 and 4.
In this episode:
Work doesn’t care about you
Why guilt prevents you from setting boundaries
Do not apologize
Avoid establishing bad precedents
Set digital boundaries
Take sick and vacation days
Set up a physical office space
Be objective, clear, and consistent

E17: Where is the passion in your life? Pt 1
Have you ever been told to pursue your passions, no matter what? When we make passions our primary pursuit, we often end up chasing a fleeting thing. Before doing so, we need to make sure we are grounded in who we are, content with where we are, and know why we want to pursue our passions. Furthermore, we need to consider if we could become passionate about the opportunities in front of us - where we are already at - before we pursue the next best thing.
In today's episode:
Work shouldn't be your primary source of passion and fulfillment
How does contentment relate to passion?
Understand who you want to become first
Discern your "why's"
