I always read that you need to be sooooo commmitted that you do nothing but work on creating a better tomorrow by sacrificing your todays.
I know that by doing this you build momentum and the more you work toward your goals the more free time you will have to do whatever it is that you want. But there has to be some time for balance in the mean time right?
When should you consider taking a little break and how long should it be? I know I am committed and I know what I want. But even when I sit down for an hour to watch a movie with my gf I feel guilty and feel like I just wasted a bunch of time..
So my main question is... When is the right time? When does everyone usually take breaks? People who have not already built an empire, do you take breaks at all or is it constant, non-stop working on things with no balance?
I feel like I shouldn't even stop for one second but sometimes I get sooo burned out from doing nothing but reading and building websites that I have to stop and just watch a movie, or go swimming or whatever.
I read that Soichiro Honda the founder of one of the most reliable motors that I have experienced (HONDA). Worked a full time job and came home every night and worked in his basement building his empire. Most nights he worked throughout the night and into the morning and his wife literally fed him his breakfast before work.
I want to do this but I also think there is a need in everyones life for balance even while your creating / building.
What is your opinion?
