Crush Chaos, Own Your Career: 5 Hacks for Women Who Do It All

Oh, that glorious chaos of adulting! Left hand typing reports, right hand folding laundry, one foot meal-prepping, and the other chasing a toddler. “Balance”? More like “survival mode.” But fear not—I’ve cracked the code. As a self-proclaimed “balance wizard,” here’s my cheat sheet:

1️⃣ Daily ‘Mini-Vacation’
Steal 30 minutes every day for pure joy: a book, Netflix, doodling, or staring at trees. Non-negotiable. (Your sanity will thank you.)

2️⃣ People > To-Do Lists
Swap “productivity guilt” for real moments with loved ones. Pro tip: Laughing with friends recharges you faster than 10 coffees.

3️⃣ Perfectionism? Kick It to the Curb
Repeat after me: “Done > Perfect.” Your boss won’t notice the typo. But burnout? Oh, they’ll notice that.

4️⃣ Master the Art of “NOPE”
Not your emergency? Not your problem. Boundaries = freedom. (And fewer 3 AM Slack pings.)

5️⃣ Phone? Gone on Weekends
Activate “ghost mode.” No emails. No doomscrolling. Just living. (Spoiler: The world won’t collapse.)

Your Turn, Balance Warriors!
What’s your secret to surviving the corporate circus? Share below! 🎪✨

P.S. If all else fails… chocolate.

How to end a phone call in a polite way and at the right time.

Ending a Telephone Call

孙子说，做事情的时候，争取主动（zhēng qǔ zhǔ dòng,to seize the initiative)是最难的，也是最重要的。什么叫“争取主动”呢？就是让事情按照你希望的样子发生，而不是总是跟着别人跑。
那怎么做呢？孙子告诉我们三个简单的方法：
第一，保持力量（bǎo chí lì liàng,to maintian the strength)。 就像你要去爬山，不能为了快，就把水和食物都扔掉，那样你会没力气。但也不能走得太慢，错过看美丽的日出。所以，做事情要准备好，但不能累坏自己。
第二，灵活改变(líng huó gǎi biàn,to be more flexible)，像水一样。 水遇到石头，就会绕过去。我们做事也一样。记住一个秘诀：避开别人很强的地方。 比如打篮球，如果对方个子很高，你就不要总想着在他面前投篮，可以试试传球给队友。
第三，选对时机(xuǎn duì shí jī，to find the right time)。 想象一下，你的朋友刚跑完步，很累的时候，你不会去跟他比赛跑步，对吧？你会等他休息好了再玩。

最后，孙子还说了几个“不要(not to do)”：

不要和比你厉害很多的人直接对抗（duì kàng，to compete）
小心，那可能是个圈套（quān tào，trap）！
给别人留一点空间（kōng jiān，space）。

你看，它告诉我们：成功的关键，不是用力气，而是用头脑。 要主动，要根据不同的情况，灵活地改变我们的方法。
下次，当你遇到一个难题，不管是学习还是和朋友相处，都可以想一想孙子的这三个建议：1.保持力量，2.灵活改变，3.选对时机。 试试看，你会发现自己变得更从容(cóng róng，to take it easy)、更聪明了。

希望这个小智慧能帮到你。我们下次课再见！

《孙子兵法》17

Part 1 of 5. 

Inside a dusty workroom, an old craftsman held up a chess piece to the window. He rotated it in the sunlight and inspected its every detail. 

“Perfection,” said the craftsman. 

He added it to the set he had been building. Sixteen grey pieces sat on his worktable, all handmade and almost ready for sale. 

The craftsman felt very satisfied with his designs. He was ready for the final stage of the process. He picked up one of the pawn pieces and said, “What about you, my little friend? What colour would you like to be?” 

He reached for his paint brush, dunked it into glass of water and then into a container of paint. The grey pawn received a heavy coating of shiny white paint.

Fast-forward several years into the future. After repeated use and abuse, that little pawn’s proud white colour had faded. Areas of his original grey were visible. Because of this, whenever players assembled their chess set, they left this little grey-white pawn to the side. 

“Uhm, is that yours or mine?” said the white player. 

“It doesn’t matter. Put it back in the box and choose from the others,” said the black player. 

This little plastic pawn’s name was Gary.
