From a work perspective at scale, most of us are in 9-5 jobs. I’m completely aligned with the mismatch of that working style with what we’re better tuned to (sprinting and resting/extremes vs consistent low/mid stress).
Since most people are going to be in that 9-5 system, it makes the outside of work exponentially more important for our growth. With this in mind, I find calling out avoiding present day comforts and seeking adversity (usually through hard workouts) to be the most actionable way for the standard 9-5 person to improve and be happier.
Avoid/decrease: high phone screen time, social media, Netflix/streaming, unhealthy processed foods, staying indoors, couch/sedentary time, alcohol/drugs
Prioritize/increase: time in nature/outdoors, steps, hard workouts, reading/writing, contrast therapy, etc.
The Illusion of “Work–Life Balance”. Maybe there’s no separation to “balance”. If consciousness is continuous, isn’t business just another arena of spiritual practice? What if compartmentalising is the real trap.
Great article. Little less aggressive than the usual style too (easier to take in).
I need to so something hard today - have succeeded too well at comfort engineering.
You got this Daniel!
completely agree with this. balance is for the mediocre and milquetoast lacking any passion or zeal for what they do.

good stuff. It would be nice if this had a voice over to listen during my drive and work
Dan is pretty consistent about putting this content on his youtube channel, he will likely do a nearly word for word video on this topic this week
