Wow this is very inspiring. Almost like a cheat code. Thanks a lot. I actually struggle with work-life balance as well as keeping my creative hobbies / be a creator rather than consumer. I think the technique youve shown will help me balancing uni/my teacher job as well as my goal to start a channel this year.
