A day of 'Work-Life Balance Defector'
Hello, I’m Nina, CEO of Labovarde.
How’s your work-life balance?
Mine has been completely out of whack for a long time now 😉
Very occasionally, I don’t even have time for lunch because I’m on the go,
and I sometimes pull all-nighters in my office,
but I’m sure there are plenty of people out there working even harder than I am, right?
At first, being human, I tried to separate my work from my personal life, and there were times when I felt my life was a total drag because of the heavy workload,
but now I’ve just given up on work-life balance and am in a state of complete detachment from all emotions.
Here’s the scope of my work.
And there are also tasks that lie hidden beneath the surface.
- Materials R&D
- Product planning and production
- B2B/B2C distribution
- Various marketing activities (keywords, performance marketing, etc.)
- Preparing and presenting business plans
- Payment processing, tax, accounting, and labor affairs
- All sorts of miscellaneous tasks and logistics
- Handling production incidents and customer service issues
Alongside these duties, I also handle the following:
- Weekend training sessions and lectures
- Serving as a panelist at various roundtables and on environmental committees
- Numerous meetings and appointments disguised as networking
Despite all this, here’s why I’m happy:
1. The Labovarde Honorary Researchers who love Labovarde products
2. Work and projects that are far more creative and autonomous than those of typical office workers
3. The satisfaction of contributing to meaningful work
4. Great teammates and the many kind people who support me along the way
I plan to keep running full steam ahead.
Please cheer me on so I can keep running even when I’m out of breath!
