I was thinking about this lately. I spend most of my time in front of a computer working lonely on my business. Time I will never get back. But I work... hoping that results will provide me with almost unlimited amounts of 'free time' in the future. Sacrifice must be made, we work hard now so we can reap the benefits later. I get it and I do it.
But what if there is no 'later'? No 'future'?
How would you live if you knew you had only 1,2, 5 or 10 years left on this planet?
I started thinking about this stuff due to various, really sad events that I witnessed in my life. Just an example - one of them involve a person, who was just in a wrong place and in a wrong time. He was just waiting on the sidewalk for the light to turn green, two cars smashed into each other and one hit him. Another, more 'worlwide' example - just look at the current situation in Ukraine.
I'm not trying to say you shouldn't work and just do some fun stuff (btw: business also can be fun but you know what I mean). I'm just asking more experienced and wiser people here: what is your happy medium?
PS. One more for entrepreneurs who work on their businesses full-time. Just curious - do you work on weekends like on normal day/don't work at all/just check if everything's good?
