As I wander through my days now that I’ve been retired for a couple of years, I often ask myself when I ever found time to work 40+ hours every week. Yet, somehow I did. And I did that for decades and decades.
But how?
When I look back, I realize that I made all those decades of working work because I cut corners on just about everything else.
For instance, I routinely only slept five to six hours a night. I’d sleep in and take naps on the weekends to try to catch up. But it was a losing game. I ran on caffeine and sheer willpower for most of my career.
