We run titles like Junkee, Punkee and AWOL which are all aimed at young Australians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However I\u2019m actually finishing my full-time role as Publisher at Junkee Media soon and moving into an honorary role as Editor-at-Large after that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I just published my first book, <em>Cult Status<\/em>, which is doing really well so I\u2019m going to dedicate some more time to writing, as well as investing and working with companies that I\u2019m passionate about.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I started working in advertising agencies in my early 20s, before realising I loved writing and becoming a freelance journalist for magazines like <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>. In my mid 20s I co-founded a national gay and lesbian website called Same Same with some of my friends who had started a dance community called inthemix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many years later we launched news and pop culture website Junkee in 2013, travel title AWOL in 2014 and entertainment title Punkee in 2016. It\u2019s been a wild ride over the past 14 and a half years, but I wouldn\u2019t change it for the world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) What does a day in the life look like for you? Can you take us through a recent workday?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>My days at the moment are anything but typical, but I\u2019ll take you through a relatively \u2018normal\u2019 day, if there even is such a thing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5am: <\/strong>I\u2019ve always been an early riser, and really love the serenity and clarity that hours before dawn gives you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I\u2019m working on a key project, like writing my book, I use this time to power through whatever I need to get done, and will stretch my waking hour even earlier to 4am or 4:30am to try squeeze as much in while the world is still quiet and my mind is still. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that can make me sound a bit mad, but hey it works for me. This is my time, and I vary it between whatever I need to do that day: researching ideas, meditation, writing in a journal, or proofreading something that\u2019s due. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mentally switch off around 7pm most nights, so I\u2019d rather get up super early and work. I\u2019ve been like that since school, always preferring to study in the morning than in the evening.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6am:<\/strong> I go to the gym almost religiously every morning before work. It\u2019s a small class gym near my house run by an excellent trainer, Cam Smith, who changes up the routine every fortnight so it stays interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I see the same dozen people every morning \u2013 rain, hail or shine \u2013 and there\u2019s a real bond that\u2019s forged when you sweat with the same faces every day. I need it for my mental health as much as my physical, and I think it\u2019s the main reason I haven\u2019t had an injury for as long as I can remember.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7am: <\/strong>After the gym I walk my dog and listen to podcasts, then use the next hour for whatever I want to tackle om my to-do list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s an important hour that changes each day depending on what I need to get done. I then shower and commute down one flight of stairs into my home office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9am:<\/strong> During this phase of Covid, I\u2019m heading into the office 1 to 2 days a week, and work the rest of the week from home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are parts of that I absolutely love, like not getting distracted every fifteen minutes by what\u2019s happening with everyone else, and parts of that I really miss, like not getting distracted every fifteen minutes by what\u2019s happening with everyone else. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have a fun, social culture that\u2019s hard to replicate over Zoom, but like every other business in the world, we\u2019re trying.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My day can generally be split into the planned and the unplanned. The planned includes regular meetings with my teams, direct reports and management colleagues to ensure everything is running as it should be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also spend a lot of time meeting with people outside our company, from clients to industry contacts and potential partners. You never know where the next good idea is going to come from, and it\u2019s so important to stay connected with people who think differently than the usual company line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I try to aim for only half my calendar to be planned each week (I hate the days when I preview my calendar for the following day and every minute is already accounted for. They\u2019re the least productive ones). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the day I try to leave unplanned so I can have time to think or plan out work, check in on shifting priorities, and put out all the myriad of fires, both small and big, that make their way into my inbox.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6pm:&nbsp; <\/strong>I aim to leave the office or shut my laptop around 6pm. I\u2019ve always found I\u2019m less focused after that, and would prefer to start early again the next morning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I usually call my husband and we\u2019ll plan what we feel like eating, popping into the supermarket to pick up the ingredients for dinner. We\u2019ll cook, eat, chat and then settle onto the couch to read or watch our favourite series. I\u2019ll check my phone for work emails, but try not to work much after dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9:30pm: <\/strong>I love an early bedtime, and like to get into bed and read until I fall asleep, usually around this time. I always put out my gym clothes for the following morning before I get into bed, making tomorrow\u2019s routine as easy as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Does your current role allow for flexible or remote working? If so, how does that fit into your life and routine?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s relatively easy to do my role remotely, but I am really missing some of the fun and creativity that comes from working collectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m lucky to have a good home office set up in our study, and we\u2019ve converted a spare bedroom into another office for my husband who also works from home, so we can both be on loud Zoom calls all day without disturbing the other. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that\u2019s quite a luxury and am really grateful for it right now.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) What does work-life balance mean to you and how do you work to achieve that goal?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our home lives and professional lives are so intertwined, especially now with so many people working from home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My best way to achieve some semblance of a good balance has been to ensure throughout my career that I\u2019ve genuinely loved what I do \u2013 so I haven\u2019t really minded when the two overlap, as they inevitably will.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I really try hard to switch off at nights and on weekends when I can. Of course, there are moments of deadlines and pitches when there\u2019s late night or weekend work, but that really should be the exception rather than the rule. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We try to be really flexible with our team as well, respecting that if someone works late, they can take corresponding time off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\" style=\"border-color:#f78a74\"><blockquote><p><em>We\u2019re publishing a book about famous Daily Routines!&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/awesome-hustler-7838.ck.page\/2a1f7fe74d\">Subscribe to our newsletter<\/a><em>&nbsp;and get access to early bird discounts and exclusive content.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5) In the past 12 months, have you started or stopped any routines or habits to change your life?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I read Hal Elrod\u2019s <em>The Miracle Morning<\/em> about 18 months ago, and that basically helped me to write my first book over the last year. It gave me the tiny extra push I needed to wake up even earlier, and use that time in an active rather than a passive way.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve also experimenting with so many different times of the day to exercise, and now really love the discipline that comes from daily early morning workouts. Knowing that I\u2019ve properly moved my body for the day means each night is free to relax and chill out with my husband or friends.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6) Do you have any favourite books, podcasts or newsletters that you\u2019d like to recommend?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not a book, podcast or newsletter, but one of the dozens of entrepreneurs I chatted with for <em>Cult Status <\/em>was Zo\u00eb Foster Blake who has built an impressive skincare business, Go-To. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zo\u00eb has an excellent selection of playlists on Spotify that you can subscribe to and help soundtrack different parts of your day. My highlights are \u201cMusic to work to\u201d and \u201cAmalfi party\u201d; they\u2019re seriously good.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7) Are there any products, gadgets or apps that you can\u2019t live without?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I love the Freedom app on my computer that allows you to turn off the internet for a set period of time. You just tell it how many minutes of \u2018freedom\u2019 you want, and it stops you from accessing anything on the internet until the time is up \u2013 or until you restart your computer if you\u2019re really desperate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I often ask for 30 or 60 minutes of freedom to complete tasks that require my full attention, and it\u2019s such a simple but effective app.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8) If you could read an interview about work-life balance by anyone, who would that be?\u00a0\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d love to hear from the writer Phoebe Waller-Bridge. She\u2019s one of my favourite writers and seems to keep popping up in a wide range of mediums that shows off her immense talent, like <em>Fleabag<\/em>, <em>Killing Eve<\/em> and even the new James Bond film. Given how much work she produces, I\u2019d love to know how she does it and some of her routines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9) Do you have any last thoughts on work, life or balance that you\u2019d like to share with our readers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I spoke with dozens of entrepreneurs for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cultstatus.com\/\">Cult Status<\/a>, and almost every single one talked about how hard the work-life balance was. It didn\u2019t matter if they were in Pakistan or Perth, Silicon Valley or Sydney, most of us are just trying to do the best that we can each day &#8211; so don\u2019t be too hard on yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just acknowledging that it is a balancing act is the first step of attempting to bring it back into alignment, and it\u2019s something that will all continue to work on for the rest of our lives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Before you go\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>If you\u2019d like to sponsor or advertise with Balance the Grind,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/balancethegrind.co\/sponsorship\/\">let\u2019s talk here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Join our community and never miss a conversation about work, life &amp; balance \u2013&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/awesome-hustler-7838.ck.page\/2a1f7fe74d\">subscribe to our newsletter<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\" style=\"border-color:#f78a74\"><blockquote><p>This conversation is brought to you by personal management app Jhola.
