Work-life harmony is more the correct way of looking at our lives rather than the old, Worklife Balance of before, says Mickey Anderson in this episode of our podcast.

Prioritize your value tasks for the day. Are you spending your $100 an hour day on $10 tasks? If so, you need to contract those tasks out. Mickey talks about a "Time or Calendar Audit". Every time you put a task on the calendar, put a $ figure by it. At the end of a month or quarter, see how your day is filled with the right $ figures.
