I'm a 19-year-old from Bangladesh (third world country) and studying in 2nd Year of A levels (12th Grade).
Currently, along with my hard studies, I'm creating content for my Youtube Channel in which I'm focusing on Quality over quantity like @Valier and learning Java to build up my Extracurricular activity resume. Basically what I'm trying to do is get admission to a foreign college and study there and get citizenship of that country.
I can't start any startup in my current country as corruption is Rampant here, so admission to foreign college is a must. I'm doing youtube to get a chance at paying for my college degree in case I don't get a scholarship/ fee waiver.
I want to develop an insane work ethic like Elon Musk - 18 hours a day which in reality is a must for me as to even have a minimum chance at this. I have tried hard for 2 straight months and could only get it up to 10 hours per day. Mind you the year before I spent doing nothing productive due to serious depression caused by a plethora of problems(All of them get solved if I manage to succeed at this).
I quite literally got it to 10 hours from 0 hours in two months.
So my question to you guys is, Is this work ethic progression normal? Or did any of you Fastelaners manage to get it up to 18 hours a day within days and if so HOW??
TLDR- My life is fricked to the point where 18-hour work ethic is the only option left to solve my problems and I wanna know if it takes time to get it to 18 hours.
