As city managers, you’re all too familiar with the constant juggling act that comes with your unique role. Multiple projects, endless meetings, and the relentless pressure to meet diverse community needs can leave you feeling overwhelmed and stretched thin. But what if there was a way to not just manage this chaos, but to thrive amidst it? Enter the concept of Essentialism, as popularized by Greg McKeown in his book “Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less.”
As a city manager, you’re no stranger to the constant buzz of work-related thoughts. The nature of your role demands attention to detail, strategic thinking, and a commitment to your community that often extends beyond the typical 9-to-5. But what happens when this dedication starts to encroach on your personal time, leaving you mentally tethered to work even as the weekend arrives?
How many times have you stressed out thinking about how to create more balance in your life? Life shouldn’t be a high-wire walk with you anxious and worried you’re going to drop all the balls you’re juggling while you fall to your death. On this episode of The HaltingWinter Podcast, Seth Winterhalter discusses why he thinks balance is overrated and why living with a different image in your mind when it comes to the various aspects of your life might be more helpful in keeping you intentional and inspired with your actions.
