First, learn self-awareness","description":"Andrea Millar, CPA\/PFS, thought she knew what really mattered. Getting good grades in school and going above and beyond at work were part of her being. But she came to the realization that work was consuming her life, at the expense of other things she cared about. Millar wrote about that experience, and some of the changes she made to create a more fulfilling life, in a recent JofA article. She also joined the JofA podcast to discuss the topic. What you\u2019ll learn from this episode:  An explanation of how work can \u201cunconsciously\u201d take over our lives. Understanding the \u201cdefault state\u201d of being and how it can explain why we might overwork. How a shift to the \u201cexperiencing stage\u201d allows us to align time and energy differently. Why Millar stresses self-awareness as an important first step of changing habits. The award that Millar\u2019s article won in a recent media and publishing competition.
