How I Balance SPORTS with a CORPORATE JOB

[@ChristineWong]

I can totally understand the everything you’re saying, but to have the actual motivation to balance a physically taxing sport and a mentally taxing job… I could never 😅 Hats off to you! So much respect for your discipline and even stamina!!!

[@ChristineWong]

I totally think that communicating and advocating for yourself is SOOOOOOO important. I know people in consulting who get their time abused because they don’t simply set boundaries.

Thank you Christine!! And agree with everything you said ❤❤

the timeboxing and quadrant strategies seem super helpful.. definitely have to try them. thanks for this!

[@lonahbee]

thank you for answering my question - I actually used the time-boxing technique at work and found it super useful!! I’m currently juggling a lot too and find your motivation & commitment really inspiring 💖

[@cathydingg]

Thank you so much and of course! Hope it was helpful (:

Love the reframing of the 4 quadrants and the actions that went along with it! Also, I totally agree with you that there should be one more thing other than your job/career in quadrant one. It really does make me feel like a more whole human who is living life rather than just existing.

[@cathydingg]

Agreed! I think I'm so much more fulfilled not just pigeon hole-ing myself into an identity of a corporate employee.

i appreciate your channel so much, you’re an inspiration! i find myself limiting my own opportunities with mental blocks but your videos show me that my life won’t just end once i have an established career. makes me feel like i can breathe again, lol!

[@cathydingg]

Thank you for the kind note!! Whatever personal journey you are on- you can do it! You got this 💪🏼

Your commitment and motivation to pursue your outside of work passions is inspirational!! A few months ago I also watched a video I think on the CNBC make it channel (?) about a guy working a full time corporate job while doing olympic training and your video reminded me of it

[@cathydingg]

Thank you so much! Appreciate the kind note!

The advice given is applicable to everyone. Boundaries and time management for the win!

My job tells us to use our own time to take the continuing education classes needed to maintain the license they require. I'd like to see their faces if I told them I wanted to adjust my schedule to practice ice skating.

[@cathydingg]

Truly feel you- corporate jobs be tough and demanding ):

[@Amanda.Archer]

I'm definitely going to fill out my own quadrant, thanks for sharing!

[@cathydingg]

Of course! Good luck and hope it helps! ❤
