Summary

time is not necessarily the problem, but rather energy
you must work AROUND your energy levels, not THROUGH them
low energy? Do an easy task
high energy? Tackle a difficult task
do an analysis on your own personal energy levels. See how they change overtime. Then you can better figure out when to do what task

hustle culture punishes rest - this is WRONG!
breaks can increase our energy levels
after your workday, don’t jump straight into your hobby/task/side-hustle. You should have a break that separates the two

“Sacrifice some hobbies so others can thrive”

sacrifice is sometimes necessary if you have too many hobbies
there’s no point of having x hobby if you don’t have the time to dedicate to it
you should ideally have hobbies that involve 3 components
- intellectual
  - reading, writing, learning a skill, courses
- physical
  - gym, sports, martial arts, yoga
- social
  - team/group activities
this could be 3 separate hobbies (1 of each component), or 1 or 2 hobbies that fulfill multiple components

one technique to balance hobbies is to have a ‘hobby season’. This is where you only partake in ONE hobby for a few months then switch to a new hobby

rather than completely eliminating a hobby, try shortening it
example: if you have a new hobby that you want to prioritize, don’t get rid of the gym. Rather decrease the time spent at the gym. Or spend less time reading.
you must make the choice: do I want to spend 1 hour on hobby A and 1 hour on hobby B, or 2 hours on hobby A?
- what’s more important for you?
- lets say the two hobbies are working out and reading.
- These are two completely different hobby types (physical and mental). Rather than spending 2 hours on one, spend 1 hour on each of them
