If you’re a leader in the culture space, your work likely isn’t confined to the usual 9-to-5 schedule. Industries such as entertainment, fashion and hospitality often lend themselves to hectic or unpredictable work schedules. As a result, it can be difficult to balance your personal life with the demands of your career.
As top culture leaders themselves, the members of Rolling Stone Culture Council recommend the strategies they use to achieve better work-life balance and carve out time for what truly matters to them.
Don’t Bring Work Problems Home With You
As a chef and owner of Common Lot, as a husband and as a father of a two-year-old, it’s certainly a juggling act. I’m fortunate enough that my wife is also in the industry and also my business partner at work. We are used to the awkward hours, long days and weekend shifts. It’s about not bringing problems home from work, focusing on family time and dealing with problems from work during “work hours.” – Ehren Ryan, Common Lot Restaurant
