Lindsay认为，对于职场妈妈而言，“烧掉船”（孤注一掷）的策略并不总是最佳选择。她结合自身经历，阐述了在不同阶段，全情投入和保留后路各有优劣。在育儿初期，由于需要兼顾家庭和事业，保留备选方案（“船”），例如其他收入来源，可以提供安全感和经济保障，避免因单一项目失败而导致的经济压力和精神压力。她以自身在2020年因过度投入而导致事业受挫的经历为例，说明了缺乏后备计划的风险。她认为，在追求事业成功的同时，也需要关注自身身心健康和家庭的稳定，避免因过度压力而导致身心俱疲。她建议职场妈妈根据自身情况和阶段灵活调整策略，在确保家庭稳定的前提下，追求事业发展。她不否定“烧掉船”的积极意义，但强调其适用性需要根据自身情况而定。只有在对目标充满信心，并感受到项目发展势头良好的情况下，才适合采取“烧掉船”的策略。过早地“烧掉船”可能会带来不必要的压力，导致身心失衡。她鼓励职场妈妈保持开放心态，接受来自不同渠道的收入，在追求目标的同时，也要关注自身和家庭的平衡。
Deep Dive
The "burn the boats" metaphor, often used in business, encourages all-in commitment. As a mother, however, Lindsay realized that unforeseen circumstances require flexibility and sometimes a 'backup plan'. Burning the boats can lead to depletion and being stuck in unfavorable situations, especially given the added responsibilities and considerations of motherhood.
- The "burn the boats" metaphor encourages all-in commitment to a venture
- Motherhood may require flexibility and backup plans, making the "burn the boats" approach less suitable
- Burning the boats can lead to depletion and difficulty changing course when needed
