I understand the concept of not having a work-life balance when you are trying to become ultra succesful, and I fully embrace it.

I turn 15 next month and have summer vacation now. My current "project" is an instagram theme page.

My question is just about how much this unbalanced lifestyle concept applies when you are my age. My parents want me to be more with friends and socialise. I wake up at 5 am (hours before my friends) and go to the gym alone. Then when I come home I sit down with my PC and work on reels.

When I say enjoyment I'm not talking about unhealthy and deteriorating activitires like video games and such. I am more talking about going on a fishing trip, or exploring the nearby islands together with my friends (I live in south norway, ad boats are very common).

Should I try to avoid these enjoyment activities as much as possible, or do them more often?
