Escape the 4th Shift™
Break the cycle of endless work.
Reclaim your energy.
Create real success.
Are You Living in The 4th Shift™?
Shift 1: The morning rush.
Shift 2: The workday hustle.
Shift 3: Evenings of family, commitments, or social plans.
Shift 4: When the world is quiet, you gear up for the late-night grind — opening your laptop and working another 4 hours.
This is The 4th Shift™ Trap
It feels like survival.
It feels necessary.
It feels like you're running out of time.
But it’s not sustainable. And it’s silently eroding your energy, your joy, your mental health, and even your success.
It’s time to escape the 4th Shift.
(and it only takes 90 minutes)
The Lie That is Work-Life Integration
We used to believe in something called work-life balance — an attempt to hold our careers in one hand and our personal lives in the other, always weighing, always adjusting, always trying to keep the scale from tipping.
But balance is exhausting. It's binary. You're either “on” or “off.” And for high-achievers, the scale never really settles.
So a new idea came along: work-life integration — a more fluid model, supposedly allowing work and life to coexist more naturally. You could take a mid-day break to coach your kid’s soccer team or attend a dance recital… and then catch up on work later that night.
Sounds ideal, right?
But here's what really happened:
We didn’t gain more freedom — we gained a 4th Shift.
After the kids are in bed, after the dinner is cleaned up, after the day should be done, millions of high-functioning humans are cracking open their laptops… and working another four hours.
And it’s not just parents — whether you’re coming home from a late meeting, a social event, or even trying to have a personal life — the pattern is the same: you’re “off,” but you’re never really off.
That “integration” we were promised?
It’s quietly added 20 more hours to our workweek.
What was sold as flexibility has turned into a trap disguised as freedom — and that’s exactly why The 4th Shift must be escaped.
The Hidden Cost of Pushing Through
For years, we’ve been told that the key to success is to “lean in.”
But if we’re honest, most of us are leaning so far in… we’re face-planting.
This pressure to “do more” hasn’t just made us busy — it’s quietly making us sick.
According to the American Institute of Stress:
83% of U.S. workers experience work-related stress.
Over 50% report that stress affects their sleep, relationships, and mental health.
Chronic stress is now linked to over 75% of doctor’s visits — and is a major factor in anxiety, depression, cardiovascular disease, and immune dysfunction.
And yet, what do most high-functioning people do to cope?
They numb.
With late-night scrolling.
With wine.
With bingeing.
With work.
With porn.
With more caffeine.
With anything that makes the ache fade — if only for a moment.
This isn’t a moral failure. It’s an energetic one.
We’ve been living in a performance loop that says doing equals value, and rest equals weakness.
The problem is — science doesn’t agree.
A 2019 Stanford study found that after about 50 hours per week, productivity drops so sharply that each additional hour worked produces almost zero output.
Past 55 hours, it may actually become negative.
We literally start undoing our good work.
Meanwhile, studies from Harvard Business Review and McKinsey show that leaders who prioritize recovery, reflection, and rest are not just happier — they’re more creative, focused, and effective.
The most successful people aren’t working more.
They’re working from a different frequency.
This is the real shift.
The 4th Shift isn’t just about time. It’s about presence, clarity, and access to a different way of operating — one rooted in intention, not addiction to motion.
If you’re here, your body and your spirit probably already know this.
You don’t need another time management hack.
You need a new way of being.
Let’s reset the frequency. Let’s Escape The 4th Shift™.

The Shifts Are Nearly Instantaneous
Brandon’s 4th Shift Experience.
Brandon Fong
Host of the Beyond Curious podcast
Founder Curiosity Island
”What I realized in this in this container with Susanne, is how much I've been in The 4th Shift.
Susanne has increased my awareness of the fact that whenever I'm in overdrive,
when I'm supposed to be present with my family,
when I'm present with my wife
or my daughter,
that moment when I had boredom kick in,
and my brain starts going to all these different places
of things that I can create...
It has created this, this situation where I'm in in neither places at the same time
where I'm neither there with my family and my daughter, and I'm neither there being productive.
And so what I'm really excited about is stepping into this new intention of being fully there wherever I am.”
Here’s What Life Can Look Like Once You
Escape The 4th Shift
The 4th Shift isn’t just late-night emails.
It’s an invisible hell — the psychological weight of always being behind, never being done, never truly arriving.
But when you escape The 4th Shift, here’s what changes:
➔ You’re not thinking about your inbox while making dinner.
➔ You’re not mentally drafting a Google Doc while helping your kid with homework.
➔ You’re not half-present during date night or resenting your partner for wanting your attention.
➔ You close your laptop at 5 or 6, and that’s it.
➔ You don’t reopen it. You don’t carry guilt about it. You’ve already done enough.
And in that space — that beautiful, unclaimed space — you get your life back.
◆ You reconnect with your partner, or make space for that special someone to come in.
◆ You have energy to move your body.
◆ You feel a renewed sense of calm and clarity, as the constant mental chatter begins to quiet.
◆ You start sketching again. Writing again. Playing again.
◆ You meet a friend for dinner and feel light.
◆ You lie down at night with a quiet mind.
That’s what happens when you collapse time and reclaim presence.
That’s what this work restores.
You don’t just get your evenings back —You get yourself back.
What Happens After Our Escape Session?
Immediately After:
You’ll feel a noticeable shift in awareness.
It’s like cracking open blackout curtains and letting in the first narrow beam of light.
Suddenly, you see differently.
You’ll walk away with new tools — but more importantly, a new lens.
One that invites clarity, relief, and a reintroduction to yourself.
One Week Later:
You’ll likely notice that you’re slowing down — not in output, but in reactivity.
You may find yourself being more patient with your children, more present in your conversations, more intentional in how you spend your evenings.
The curtain is opening wider. And as light floods in, old patterns no longer feel aligned.
You’re starting to choose — not just react.
One Month Later:
We’ll reconnect for a check-in.
You’ll have had time to experiment, observe, and begin rewiring.
This is where we celebrate what’s shifted — and gently untangle what’s still sticky.
You won’t be doing it alone.
This is the beginning of a new way of operating, not a one-time event.
