- Burnout, Mindset
Truthfully, I don’t!
I sometimes feel I have two versions of myself perched on each shoulder:
One is endlessly ambitious and hungry and pushed me further.
The other just wants a simple life with free time.

Focus requires letting some things slip.
You can’t achieve great work or lasting peace without letting some things slide.
So you have to decide what the priority is right now, and adjust on a regular basis.
You can let most things slide for a while, and pick them back up later when the time is right.
