Does Balance Exist?
A question I’ve been asking myself for a while is if balance actually exists? On one hand, you have the overachievers, founders, CEOs, hard workers that preach to work 80h+ weeks and on the other side, you have the 9-5ers that work the minimum 35-40h per week, then hang out with their friends after work and during the weekend, have 2-3 weeks of vacay per year and it repeats.
It’s a question I constantly think about, because I feel I’m in-between both worlds. I have a lot of friends that live the 5-9 life and then I have online friends that are working super hard to get to the point where they are the wealthiest person I know.
Can you also get to a point where you’re wealthy, without sacrificing fun until there?
This post that I read from Fahd gave me hope: https://twitter.com/fahdananta/status/1597803622837809152
“7-10 wake up, exercise, shower 10-7 work on Ocho 7-10 chill 10-12 Roach (think, emails, admin) 12-7 sleep”
It’s 7h of sleep, it gives you ~6h of “chilling” time as well. I still believe that I probably need to sacrifice more than what I’m doing now, but I want to find a way to build my life to have both volleyball, work, gym and also build a particular skill I’m working on.
Will it work? I guess we’ll see.
