Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph recently took to LinkedIn to share his strategy for balancing his professional and personal lives.
To live a mentally healthy lifestyle in the age of hustle culture, it is critical to establish clear boundaries between work and personal life. Striking a work-life balance, on the other hand, can be difficult at times.
Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph recently took to LinkedIn to share his strategy for balancing his professional and personal lives.
Randolph explained in a lengthy post that he has had a strict rule for the past 30 years of leaving his workplace at 5 p.m. on Tuesdays. He also stated that he did not let meetings and conferences interfere with his Tuesday schedule.
“I’ve worked hard my entire career to balance my life and my job. I write about my Tuesday date nights with my wife in my book. I had a hard cut-off on Tuesdays for over thirty years. I left at 5 p.m., rain or shine, and spent the evening with my best friend,” he wrote.
He mentioned that those Tuesday nights kept him sane and put the rest of his work into perspective.
“I resolved a long time ago not to be one of those entrepreneurs on their seventh startup and seventh wife,” Randolph wrote. In fact, the thing I’m most proud of in my life is not the companies I founded, but the fact that I was able to do so while remaining married to the same woman; having my children grow up knowing and (as far as I can tell) liking me; and being able to devote time to my other passions. That is my definition of
success,” he said.
