The first question you should ask yourself right now is whether you're currently healthy.
Did you sleep well?
Do you have enough energy throughout the day?
Do you have excess fat?
Did all your muscles disappear due to lack of training?
How's your heart rate?
Do you have shortness of breath?
Do you have teeth problems?
The list goes on...
This may be obvious, but only with age I've realized that health should be top priority.
Health affects everything:
Healthy you - good results
Healthy you - feeling strong and secure
Healthy you - less spending
Healthy you - higher salary
Healthy you - help others
And it all leads to more opportunities.
This is an extrapolation, but it's true.
If you have some health problems, focus on them hard.
Health can be restored to a degree, but it gets expensive the longer we delay.
Your rest isn't as good as it could be if you were healthy.
Your work isn't good if you aren't rested.
The work is subpar -> longer hours needed to do the same task -> less time for rest.
And the cycle repeats, leading to worse and worse results, until you don't want to get out of bed.
You need prime health to enjoy rest.
You need fulfilling rest to do great work.
You need great work results to rest freely.
When you've done a good job - you don't even have thoughts to check work during downtime,
which leads to good rest. You don't hesitate and take all that time for a healthy rest.
When you've rested enough, you bite into work like a hungry wolf, chopping tasks with the speed of light.
