Great perspective.
I feel like that many times and your 'reverse' question strategy is great.
I also found that, even when I sleep 4 hours I feel energetic doing things I love, mind you, I said 'doing' and not depending on results, I feel awesome. On the days I spend my energy doing things I feel like I earned my sleep.
Upvoted.
Yes! With an end goal in mind, it is way easier to come up with at least the first couple of steps in the right direction.
Oh, that's great! Falling in love with the process is probably the most important part.
