There's a lot of talk these days about "Work/Life Balance" within a startup.
We're supposed to believe that we can build a world-changing startup from nothing while simultaneously traveling to exotic places and enjoying our "best life".
For most of us, that just doesn't add up. What's blowing us up, though, is how we approach the problem.
It can be.
While it sounds amazing to build something from nothing with plenty of time to spare, that's rarely the case. A startup is an all-consuming torrent of time, which means if we let it, it will absolutely take every second we have available.
Those of us that are beating the system are doing it by brute force hacks on life.
