I loved recording this episode because it gave me the opportunity to pick the brain of another chronic “side hustler”. What I mean by this is that Kevin is someone with a multitude of passions and external pursuits and also, has an extraordinary ability to structure his time for them. In this episode we talk about time boxing activities, but giving ourselves enough flexibility to accommodate ad hoc scheduling as well as polarizing thoughts on career and money. We discuss using experiments to test the parameters of our balance and staking our days with optimal components to keep feelings of anxiety and depression in check. Most interestingly, Kevin gives us some tools for being present and for building the mind-body connection. If you enjoy this conversation, you can hear more about Kevin’s hard-earned insights on leadership, mental models, and frameworks through his weekly newsletter, "The Catalyst."
