Balancing Productivity and Well-being
- Embrace obsession in the micro and variation in the macro to balance conflicting goals like work and well-being.
- Alternate between periods of intense work and periods of relaxation and joy.
- Adjust the duration of these periods (e.g., weekdays vs. weekends, month on/week off) until finding a suitable rhythm.
- Consider periodizing your goals across larger timeframes (weeks, months, or even a year) instead of trying to achieve perfect daily balance.
- Like calorie counting or step goals, overall progress matters more than minute-to-minute or day-to-day fluctuations.
