The secret to success and satisfaction is a healthy combination of productive systems and strategic indulgence. Find ways to consistently get shit done in a focused, timely manner that moves you towards your goals. Creating and sticking to these productive daily habits allows you time, energy, and mental or physical space to indulge in self-care and guilty pleasures. Schedule how you spend your time and energy until you discover your golden mean between necessary discipline and fulfilled desire. This is what a realistic way to romanticize life looks like.
Design. Plan. Take Action. Focus. Unwind. Adjust (as needed). Repeat.
I love being calm. I love knowing that I have control over where my attention goes. I love choosing peace.
