RE: From 9-5 to 24/7?

in GEMS14 days ago (edited)

i noticed this working on my music and other projects i have a passion for. there are no weekends any longer and i do not miss them at all, i work when i want and for much longer durations, setting and reaching milestones and tailoring the working hours much more to the project at hand, getting with its ideal individual rhythm rather than worh a clock.

in that your point about the body is interesting, it is sort of the limiting factor. but i see it more as a helper for cosmic balance, keeping the achiever mind in check and reminding us: dudes, you are living on earth and still have a body to care for, take a break for today and finally go to bed!!!

at the same time, if it is a more self-determined way of working (rather than a terrible job for some other boss) it can be an obsession in its own right.

balance is paramount in everything especially when we would prefer to ignore its merit

blessings dude!

Definitely, I also love that aspect of immersing yourself in a work that you find interesting for hours on end, you just give it your all and get it done and you also enjoy the whole process. I think in a way, it's more beneficial to just work hard, hours on end on what you love then rest hard also, for quite some time, to achieve this balance that's needed for everything to operate orderly. Rather than never touching the extremes and just tiptoe-ing between the "balanced zone".

Thanks for stopping by :)

super true. when finally taking a break after achieving a milestone i feel tired but somehow achieved and happy. positive exhaustion, rather than this continuous grinding down of my soul for no purpose

blessings dude!
