Chapters

Some people need more downtime than others. There are people in the world, certainly Bill Gates when he was younger, where working seven days a week, 20 hours a day was just easy. It was how he was wired. I'm not like that. Chances are you aren't either. I've got to have a lot of downtime every day. I don't like to work past 4 o'. Clock. Typically I need my weekends for fun, relaxation, going to museums, enjoying art and culture. That actually makes me a lot more productive. You got to figure out how much downtime do you need? Because if you try to reduce the downtime too much, you're going to destroy your productivity. Follow the TJ Walker habit.
