best advice I've received in a long time:
I went to a Social Media Training seminar where Ryland King, a guy who just graduated from UCSB year started a huge non-profit called EENG (Environmental Education for the Next Generation). I asked him how did he have so much motivation and energy to do so much while he was a full-time student.
He told me that he realized he was spending some time sitting in the library, eating cheetos, going on facebook, and half-ass studying when he could have been surfing or eating dinner with a cool girl or guy. He said that he recognizes that he needs breaks and when he procrastinates, he should procrastinate 100%. He won't go to the library unless he knows he's going to hyperfocus and study 100% of the time. The other way he spends his time is enjoying life & not thinking about doing work at all.
IT WAS SO AMAZiNG. I went to the library right after he said that and send out like 10 emails and finished a bunch of work.Â
He sort of offered me an internship so I just emailed him right now. I'm really inspired that he was able to do so much in so little time, AND make so many friends along the way.Â
This scared the shit out of me but it's so true: time is life's most luxurious commodity.
