Dot com over now get right to it as we optimize your life don't be afraid of hard work, but he gave omen of take home and I come There comes a point, everyone's life when they realise that hard work is overrated. Each per in his or her own time will have a moment of epiphany that forces them to respect the complex array of variables, Ike onto the making of a success story, disability is at once heart, breaking and liberating heartbreaking because were around from the comforting illusion that were in complete control over all the factors that determine our destiny, liberating because were freed from the stress of even that we always need to be hustling in bustling. In order to make good things happen. Stories about people who toil day and night only decide.

The disillusionment of a world that doesn't always on a rigorous day's work. Rosa flooded with movies and tv shows ills. The emptiness. I regret of the person who spend too much time at the office and too little time doing things like sitting by the ocean, washing the sunset gazing at the night sky, conversing with friends, watching the children grow up and so forth. These narratives have created a legitimate demand for task management systems and other approaches to work that can help people minute as the harmful effects of the daily grind, a great deal of self help and personal development now around the idea of showing us how to hack productivity, how do optimize creativity and how to get more results out of less effort. And I love every bit of this cultural shift towards making work more, fulfilling and less stressful. My whole heart. We believe that everyone on the planet could benefit from learning, how to simplify their workload and increase their efficiency, blood

I also believe that were running the risk of forgetting one very important, empirically attested fact, hard work isn't a sufficient condition for fulfilment and success, but for most thus is very likely unnecessary one. In his advice to other artists, Pablo Picasso counselled quote: learn the rules like a pro seeking break them like an artist end quote: That is, there is no point in reinventing or rebelling against the rules, if you're completely clueless about what the rules are, why they were established in the first place and how they can be useful in certain contexts. Some people are so eager to be unorthodox or so afraid of being seen as rigidly orthodox that their holy diesel are the valuable lessons to be learned from custom and convention. I consider Picassos observation concerning art to be true of hard work.

You have to know what it means to step outside of your comfort zones. Push yourself in work vigorously before it means anything to master a bunch of techniques for a hacking, your schedule. After all, you can't optimize process process. The process process has already begun. Optimization, isn't a precursor for action. Musician is an aid to action, you have to act before you off demise, you to learn how to hustle before you learn how to hack is easy for people to make the fallacious leap from hard work. Isn't everything to hard work? Isn't any We may very well be a culture guilty of working too much, but that doesn't mean should abandon the idea that there is such a thing as working too little. I travel the country giving talks and lectures at dozens of colleges, high schools, churches and conferences a year and noticing a trend among many young people, a fear of becoming an overworked, a dull to waste Thirty years doing meaningless work, these

sincere and while many students are disenchanted and discouraged when they see us adults running around looking stressed and exhausted by air jobs and lasting they ever want to become is us, but for me give them, this fear translates into an inability to stick with any tasks beyond point where it ceases to be fun or spiritually fulfilling. If I work on something for a law oh, then, what feels exciting all end up being trapped was a meaningless soul, sucking job until I'm too old to change things. Many of them seem to think this weekend. I gave two talks on the valley of entrepreneurial thinking for artists at the picture institute. The seminar was attended by several young business and film students during a pale discussion. Some one asked to see overproduction call me for advice on how to be successful in highly competitive fields. His advice was interesting, quote, be more of a worker, then a dreamer every he claims to be creative and passionate nowadays, but nobody knows how to work hard anymore. If inconsistently were

eight hour days could be way had a most people. Sad, I know, but the bar is that low. Nothing is here a fine young person who can be consistently reliable with executing ideas and following through on the things they start and quote my no interest in debating people about how big of a problem we have in this country, with young people being afraid of hard work, but I thought I passed his seal. Advise along in case he happens to be one of those people who struggle with the fear of getting stuck with a monotonous life as a result of working too hard As a rule, business owners over the years tell me about creative types who came to them seeking opportunities, but who were and away because they proved their ability to stick with something for longer than a few weeks or a few months, contrary to the contemporary fat of marking. The follow your passion idea, I'm one of those people who still believe that you should follow your passion, but here's a key. If you give up on your passions when, obstacles, inconveniences and hardships get in your way, then you're not actually fall

when your passion you're following your obstacles, inconveniences and hardships. If you really want to follow your passion and you have to keep pursuing it even with stuff gets in your way. That's a difference between following something versus just focusing on it when it happens to be standing in front of your face. If your Person hearing this here's, my two cents for you, follow your passion, but almost Therefore, having easy all the time go over your dreams, but going after them, even when they drag you through muddy pile of hard work. Don't guilt trip yourself and doing things you hate, but love your gun, enough to hustle beyond the happy hours of comfort and convenience being creed, in today's world means so much more than having a big imagination in a cool personality. It also means having the sense of artist Sri decree massive opportunities out of mundane tasks It also means having imagination, is big enough to discover new ways to manufacture your own inspiration as he navigate the peaks and valleys of the creative process.
