It comes with costs however, I’m out of shape, stressed, I don’t sleep well, and my blood pressure is up." > "That’s OK, though. In fact, that’s how it’s supposed to be. Start-ups are evolutionary creatures that don’t care one bit about your schedule or how many items are left on your to-do list." that's not OK. falling into your passion is crucial for maximum work-time efficiency. i hardly ever procrastinate, and i frequently come back from sports or dinner and want to work again. but being stressed and out of shape? i think that would completely demotivate me, not to mention literally sap my energy away. i want to be my most energetic, productive, clear-thinking best. for me that means being healthy and focused. i make my own schedule, so when i want to pull a 16hr work day or wake up at 4am with a burning desire to solve some problem, that's fine. but i don't feel stressed out or out of shape. i feel great.
