Randi Zuckerberg s
accomplished. She’s authored
several books, spearheaded
a media company, and
performed on Broadway. But
she still has doubts about
being able to do it all...at the
same time. In her latest book,
Pick Three: You can have it
all (just not everyday),
she tackles the notion
that the only formula
to success is to have a
mastery of balance.
RANDI ZUCKERBERG | AUTHOR
Why she decided to write about work /
life balance:
“Life usually falls into five buckets
consisting of work, sleep, family, friends
and fitness. In a perfect world we would
all do all of those things perfectly on
a daily basis. But because we’re living
in a world of social media perfection,
we’ve put a crazy amount of pressure on
ourselves to be able to do it all very well,
all the time. I wanted to not only dispel
that notion but also show people how to
do things their way without feeling bad
about it.”
Why it’s best to live “lopsided”:
“It’s not a revolutionary idea--we have
to prioritize the things that are most
important to us in order to make them
greater. In this book, I lay out why it was
best for me to only pick three things
to prioritize at a time in order to be
successful at them. just three of those
buckets each day and as long as you
vary that combo (and track it), the end
sum is, well, balanced.
Why she’s a proponent of “realistically”
following your passions:
“I’ve always been a big fan of music
and loved to sing, but I chose tech
because it was safe and dependable.
When I decided to leave Silicon Valley,
although fearful, I returned to my love
of performing by taking a stint on
Broadway. However, I made sure to
keep my eye on my businesses and
other interests as well. PLEASE go after
what you want, but also be cognizant of
your other priorities.”
