Not everyone will thrive in a corporate job, but not everyone who doesn't can just pack their bags and start their own business. Here are a few tweaks, both in your surroundings and in your mindset, that can make your work-life better without having to move away.

Hustle culture has led us to believe that rest is a reward, but it's actually a necessity for a healthy, productive life. Our definition of success should prioritize self-care. Don’t wait for burnout to take a break.

Struggling with the office-home balance? I find changing environments boosts my focus. This week, I'm in Barcelona, loving the opportunities this city offers. Working remotely is a privilege, one I don't take for granted.

Ever feel like you catch a bug the moment you set your out-of-office email? I'm determined to break this tradition. I've learned that overworking before a break can weaken our immune system—so, this time, I'm taking a different approach. I'm slowly dialing back my workload and sticking to a healthy routine. A self-experiment in the making.

Not every job sparks joy, but job crafting can help. It’s about shaping your role to align with your values and strengths, making work more meaningful and fun. By tweaking tasks and shifting your mindset, you can find more fulfillment and reduce burnout. Even the tiniest changes can make a big difference.
