I’ve been working all-out for a while now. I’m technically working three full-time jobs at the moment and am getting ready for a baby to arrive in a few weeks.
It’s been busy as shit, to say the least. Which leads to this weekend and what I ended up doing.
My mother-in-law told me a story about someone she knew who worked so hard that he went crazy. Full-on mental breakdown from working too hard. I also know stories about people my age, with similar work ethics and jobs, who are dying from heart attacks in their 20’s/30’s because they’re working so much and relying on stimulants to keep them moving.
If that’s you, then you are fucking stupid. There’s no other way to describe it.
I don’t want that to be me. I don’t think I am at risk of but going crazy, I do think it’s worth resting and feeling better. Taking the time to rest up is worth it if it means that I can then start jumping at this week with just more energy to rock this week.
I feel weird doing this, because this isn’t my approach. I hate taking a break.
I’ve learned that I need too.
Yesterday there were 1,605 days until I turn 30 and need to make $10K a day passively. Here’s how I spent it in pursuit of that goal
The current phase of the plan
I’m in Phase #3: The Business Phase. You can read more about the phases and my plan to get to $10K/a day at 30 here.
I still consult, and I still have a job. I’m looking forward to removing both of those ASAP.
Wake up & sleep:
I woke up at 8:17 am after going to bed at 12:27, for a total amount of sleep of 7 hours and 35 minutes. Recovery was 59%.
It’s rest time.
Exercise
Break time, break time, break time. Day strain was low at 7.6, as it should be if it’s a rest day.
Stress levels
I was at a 4/5, with 1 being the highest. The added sleep helped take some of the stress off.
Diet
Diet was coffee, and chicken for dinner.
3/5 with 1 being the best. As usual, not great.
