Let’s start with something we can all agree on; slave labour, unpaid overtime, working weekends, passive aggressive office politics & social chess all eat BIG bags of swingin’ D’s right? Nobody juggling office tasks, against the clock, under nosebleed stress pressure, would not rather be face down in a pillow somewhere, eating a mouth full of chocolate with something delightful happening to their lower halves.

This is an extremely common & tough corner to paint oneself out of. Sadly, there is no easy 3 step career hack to instantly jump from one slowly sinking office ship to a Bilzarian life raft of Brazilian honeys. 

You’ll either have to begin digging your El Chapo escape tunnel now or endure a 40-year career of forced smiles, political office chess & awkward elevator small talk.

For those with grander dreams of self-employment, becoming self-made CEOs or a hammock swinging nomadic freelancers, thankfully there is a dim light at the end of a long dark tunnel.

Have you ever been so absorbed in a task, a conversation, a hobby, a video game, a sport, martial art or workout that you have literally got lost in the craft itself? For some it’s long distance triathlon training, for others it's neck breaking Jiu Jitsu rolls, or maybe it’s entering a timeless zone of painting Games Workshop action figures? (Guilty as charged, guess how this guy spent his lonely sexless teens?). 

The conscious mind switches to autopilot & many people describe this state as a brief window of enlightening clarity where the subconscious mind takes the wheel & allows the individual to coast & enjoy the scenery.

Tapping into this mainline is not easy, but anyone who finds themselves working, studying or perfecting any challenging craft will notice a tipping point to where the difficulty disappears & they become one with the discipline in front of their nose.

So what does this mean for those who dislike their careers or feel stuck in a situation they need to get the F out of? Everyone alive has something they love doing, their life’s mission is figuring out how to make a living doing that craft...

The more time you spend doing what you love the more you’ll find time accelerating, where hours, days, weeks & months slip from your fingers like a Kleenex in a tornado. I’m not downplaying how much effort, time & energy is required to make this transition & am fully aware of how much hard graft goes into any potential passion project.

Ultimately the choice is yours, if you’re happy doing what you do, power to you brother (or sister). But if you are not happy & feel as unfulfilled as a suburban 50s housewife, following your gut feeling is your internal sat-nav system telling you to leave at the next exit to check if this road is the one you actually want to be driving on.

The benefits of sticking to an airtight stoic work schedule go far beyond being a more disciplined keyboard jockey or 10x’ing your monthly fan’s recurring revenue streams. Having a consistent daily time-blocked routine will ensure you maintain your physical, emotional & mental health when chipping away at your million-dollar idea on the weekends.
