Скачать или смотреть Worry-Free Walt Disney

When Walt first implemented this rule of no stressful meetings in the afternoons, his secretaries really didn’t take it seriously. At four or five o’clock, they would come in and tell Walt somebody wanted to see him. Walt would respond with, “You know what my rule is.” They would argue with him, saying, “Yes, but they say it’s very important.” And that’s when Walt held his boundaries by saying,“They all say that. I’ll see him in the morning. Let him go home and worry about it all night if he wants to. I plan to go home and sleep.”

Walt also tried to set a personal work boundry of leaving papers and scripts in his briefcase at home and not reading them late at night. But, as his daughter Diane attested to in a 1956 Saturday Evening Post article, he didn’t always follow his own rule, and often regretted it when he did. If he was anxious about a script, he’d read it late at night, and then the next morning he would complain at breakfast, “I was fighting that script all night long.”

In a world where there is less and less commuting and set 9-5 work schedules, I think it’s more important than ever that we find what rhythms of work that serve us best. Some of us are most productive and able to conquer the world in the mornings, while others are more creative and energized in the evening. Knowing yourself and what is a healthy mental balance for you own well-being is important, and we too often mold ourselves into what others tell us to be rather than acknowledging who we are. While we don’t always have the luxury of chosing when we work or determining our schedules, knowing the time you thrive most during the day (and when stress feels especially hard) can still help you make small changes and set boundaries when needed 💜
