Q FOUNDR: If you had to start your career all over again, what would you do differently in your approach to business? AH: I wish I could go back and tell myself that not only is there no tradeoff between living a well-rounded life and high performance, performance is actually improved when our lives include time for renewal, wisdom, wonder and giving. That would have saved me a lot of unnecessary stress, burnout and exhaustion. Q FOUNDR: Arguably, you are where you are today because you worked extremely hard. How much of the success of The Huffington Post is owed to ceaseless dedication to the point of physical and spiritual exhaustion? And do you think if you had adopted third metric principles earlier, The Huffington Post would be where it is today? AH: I’m convinced that if I had incorporated these practices into my life much earlier, I would still have achieved all I have achieved with less stress, worry and anxiety, and HuffPost would be just as much of a success. And most of HuffPost’s successes have been over the past seven years, after my wakeup call! QFOUNDR. Who do you learn from currently? Who are your mentors and how do they differ from the ones you had in your formative years? AH: I learn a lot from my daughters — it’s one of the many joys of being a parent that no one ever tells you about. And though she’s no longer here, I still learn a great deal from my mother. One of her favorite sayings, which embodied the philosophy of her life, was “Don’t miss the moment.” Earlier in my life I was more likely to look up to people for intellectual reasons, but now it’s much more about wisdom. Q SUCCESS STORY FOUNDR: Finally, could you explain why the third metric is so important for young entrepreneurs to learn? AH: Young entrepreneurs especially can benefit from these practices. The Western workplace culture — exported to many other parts of the world — is practically fueled by stress, sleep deprivation, and burnout. Even as stress undermines our health, the sleep deprivation so many of us experience in striving to get ahead at work is profoundly — and negatively — affecting our creativity, our productivity, and our decision making: the very things entrepreneurs need in order to succeed.
THRIVING: 3 STEPS YOU CAN EMBRACE TODAY Arianna Huffington shares three tips guaranteed to change your life for the more productive and fulfilling. 1 2 3 Sleep more. Wise people get enough sleep. As little as 30 minutes extra sleep every night is enough to transform your quality of life markedly. We tend to value being exhausted and overworked as badges of honor, but ultimately burning yourself out is an inherently unhealthy practice. If you can’t sleep at night, embrace the idea of naps during the day. Unplug. Turning off devices is hard, but endless connectivity will be harder on your health in the long run. Pick a time after work when you and your devices part ways for the night. That means they should be switched off, and out of the bedroom. And don’t sleep with your smartphone by your bed. Any friends’ messages, tweets, Facebook posts, or breaking news can wait ‘til morning. Your sleep will be more restorative without them. Let Go of Something. At the end of the day, let go of something that isn’t serving your interests. Examine your grudges, resentments, or projects that you don’t care about enough to complete, and pick one to jettison. Drop it and feel that weight slide away. You’ll be surprised at how much mental energy is wasted needlessly on fruitless burdens. David Halliday is a journalist and screenwriter.
