Letās get this out of the way: 80-hour work weeks arenāt for everyone. But for some of us? Itās just what happens when you're obsessed.
Hereās what it really looks like:
- Wake up, no shower, no breakfast, straight to the desk.
- Eat while working (I even schedule āeating workā ā tasks that donāt need typing or speaking).
- Gym, sauna, walks = my only "breaks", and I socialize during them.
- No Netflix. No video games. No doomscrolling.
My lifestyle isnāt about hustle pornāitās about aligning life so deeply with your work that it becomes play.
And no, itās not torture. It's fulfilling. It's energizing. Itās āI get to do thisā instead of āI have to.ā
The key mindset shift?
šÆ Work isnāt something I force myself to do. Itās something Iām lucky to do.
Thatās why 80 hours doesnāt burn me out. It fills me up.
š¬ Curiousāwhatās your current ratio of āI have toā vs. āI get toā in your work?
