Multiple times a friend who lived across the street from my office asked if I ever went home because many times I was there until 2-3am and back by 6.
That year and a half stretch probably took years off of my life but has proven that hard work pays off. I now have a team of people's doing what I was doing with exponential growth each year.
It gets better if you prioritize and put your efforts into things that deserve it.
At the same time I began donating my professional time to locally beneficial projects and grants. Between 200-300 hrs of professional services donated. Not long ago there was a single opportunity for a payday in my field and they didn't give me a shot at it. It turns out I anticipate a lot less time wasted in the future. D
Focus your time and effort where it will benefit you and yours.
