We’ve been sold the idea of “balance.”
Work a little.
Rest a little.
Repeat daily
But I’m noticing something different
The people doing meaningful work aren’t balancing
They’re cycling
They go all in
12 hours
15 hours
Deep focus for weeks
Then they step back. Completely
No guilt. No fake productivity. Just recovery
It’s not about daily balance.
It’s about seasons.
Build season.
Rest season.
Sprint
Reset
Trying to split everything evenly every day often leads to half-effort everywhere.
But full immersion?
That creates breakthroughs.
Maybe the goal isn’t balance.
Maybe it’s intensity followed by intentional recovery.
Are you structuring your life by the clock…
Or by seasons?
