• Be Obsessed on what you do
• *You won't feel the need of having "Work-Life Balance".
*** You can have an "imbalanced life" and still be satisfied.
** Obsession -- Mastery
- Work-life Balance implies that work is suffering and life is relief. -- This is a bad situation.
* Get out of that situation. Control your Life.
- Suffering Escapisms
• Videogames, Netflix... (high-cognition activities)
• "Video-Games are Shadow Careers."
• * Do not waste your life in shadow careers.
- True Solution
* Align your life with what you wanna do. (Your work should be fun)
* * You won't feel the need for Escapisms.
* * * You can put all your energy into your main career.
**How to know if you are doing what you really want?
• **You are not craving for holidays.
• **You don't look down on Mondays.
NAVAL RAVIKANT AND KAPIL GUPTA....
"Greatness demands Obsession"
• It is through Obsession that you forge your own path.
• * If you ask "How-to's", you are not truly obsessed...
*** How-to's will help you to cover the basics, but it won't help you on being great at any (creative) field.
