Sitting in front of your computer for hours on end is not a good plan if you want to get max output from yourself.
Having a life I enjoy motivates me to maximize the limited hours I work.
For me I play basketball every Monday and Friday from 9am-11am.
I look forward to it. It's something that excites me and energizes me.
I love my work but I also love variety.
I love routines but if my only routine was work all day every day I would die inside.
And I have made this mistake many times.
Living out of scarcity, " I gotta make money!"
So I justify my unhealthy workaholic patterns, lock myself in my office, and go to work.
Funny enough the work is not even productive.
Especially if you are trying to make content.
Creating from a place of scarcity is shit.
When I'm in this energetic state I often just go into a spiral of overwhelm and don't even get the stuff I need to do done.
For me I find it very helpful to have a hobby I can look forward to like basketball. It takes my mind off the work activity and gets me into a playful flow state.
As a result I'm able to get back to work and that work is more productive and better quality.
Ultimately if you want to level up your business find a hobby you enjoy and make a routine out of it.
