Work, Life, No Balance

S3 Ep1: Working smart, not hard - what psychologists think about work-life balance

Prash Raval Season 3 Episode 1

If you want to finally start working smart instead of hard - and give your own boss the lowdown on the business benefits - this episode is for you.

This episode, I’m talking to Arabella Ellis and Mark Loftus. They’re the husband-and-wife co-founders of Jyre - the company I’ve been working at for the past 8 months - and have a background in clinical psychology. 

My stint working closely with Arabella and Mark was an essential part of my journey toward self-employment and crucially - putting an end to being a workaholic. 

My three key takeaways

  1. Good work comes from the quality of judgement, not the quantity of output
  2. We are at our most impactful when we understand our unique strengths and play to them - when we truly just be ourselves
  3. I need to be aware of the pros and cons of the 'Professional leader' traits within me - such as ownership, perfectionism and my strength in managing expectations
