Many people would be embarrassed if someone else watched their morning for just 3 hours and reported back their findings.

This is spot on.

A simple exercise is ask your self how could I reach my 3 years goal in the next 6 months?

You really quickly will realize all the low leverage items you’re doing that won’t get you to your goal.

About 3yrs ago I was trapped in a grind at my job. Then I took a hard rest, just as you recommend. 5 days (calling in sick).

Gained new perspective. Decided to improve the sex life with my wife. Never felt more satisfied than now.

Now I help married men do the same with their sex life.

Everytime I read an article I become curious about the next one. I appreciate how they always challenge how we think and what we do. I enjoyed this one.

This is more applicable and helpful then every video of “grind” culture ever conceived. Your right hemisphere needs time to absorb and intuitive stitch together broad, holistic solutions. This advice is neuroscientific . Great article, lots to rest about, thank you

By which standard is someone’s work unnecessary? Is reflection unnecessary? Is contemplation, distraction, task switching unnecessary?
