Balance the Grind

"If you just talk about wanting a form of balance

"If you just talk about wanting a form of balance but do nothing to change your behaviour, Tinkerbell will not magically appear and do it for you. You need to be comfortable with the idea that no day or week is the same and that sometimes it goes to plan and sometimes it doesn’t, and that’s ok. Life is not perfect, things come up – you need to learn to navigate."⠀

"Balance for me is about being happy. As a wife, mum and art gallery director, I am constantly driven by providing for my loved ones and the enjoyment my role as Director of KAB Gallery brings to me.⠀
⠀
No two days are the same, and I celebrate every success, small or large, both personally and professionally, which I believe helps to keep me motivated, even when the chaos can seem overwhelming."⠀

"Work-life balance for me means allowing myself the room to make mistakes. Forgiving myself when I wasn’t able to finish a project that day. Understanding that you won’t be able to make everyone happy. It means remembering that work is work. And your life is your life. ⠀
⠀
I work to achieve this by being patient with myself and remembering to take breaks throughout my day. One of our mottos at Siege is Health, then Work. I prioritize my mental health and physical health over work, always."⠀

"Burnout is real. While the hustle is wonderful, it’s not a sustainable day-in, day-out. Make time for yourself or the universe will do it for you."⠀

"To me work-life balance means empowerment over my own time management, work schedule and project structure. It means I am not turning up in the office simply for the sake of a body in person and my focus is on output and activity as opposed to simply time and attendance."⠀

"I think balance is extremely important, but I also think the definition of balance is equally important. You have to find what is right for you. Not what someone tells you is right but what you know is right from trial and error. Define it yourself and practice it."⠀

"Give yourself permission to draw boundaries at work around your personal life – it doesn’t make you any less ambitious or successful than the person next to you willing to clock 18 hours a day on their timesheets. Yes, that means giving yourself permission to go to that gym class you committed to going to even when deadlines start to pile on."⠀

"I don’t even think I’ve ever been good at achieving balance. I still feel like there is a lot of juggling going on but what I have got better at is accepting it for what it is – we are in a busy stage with three young children, running a business that’s very much still in its infancy. What I accept is that it’s not forever, it’s just our reality for the time being."⠀
