Theres no easy way tbh. Some people take adderal or vyvsnse but those are very bad for you in the long term and work less and less after awhile.

The reality is what separates the good from the great is how much you're willing to live to your full potential which only you can do.
If you start doing everything in life to your full potential (like putting in an extra hour of studying to get a 100% instead of a 90%) it will start to become natural for you and you'll apply that ethic to everything. It won't happen over night but if you work gradually and shoot to improve yourself by 1 percent everyday you'll be working almost 4x as hard after a year

If you don't feel motivated enough then you're not trying hard enough. Good luck

you have too. i don't care how much people say "oh i only need 4 to 5 hours", that's bullshyt. i've been there and done there and lemme tell you, you'll burn out sooner rather than later. sleep is very very very important. you can think clearly and all of that shyt with it :blessed:

a nikka who ain't gettin' enough sleep is walkin' around lookin' at shyt all foggy and with an attitude. you can't be productive like that. shyt fukks everythin' up

Don't think about the work. Think about the end goal. Set benchmarks. When you hit certain goals, reevaluate your long term goals and adjust as
necessary. I have gotten through shyt I didn't like by setting up routines with which to unwind after long, shytty workdays, and was sure to reward myself with freetime,
even if it costs me some sleep sometimes.

When you working your ass off and cant spend what you are making, its easy to throw in the towel. You have to go 100% and have goals every step of the way, or you
will find yourself doing some shyt for 2-3 years, then this song will come on



I played this song every hour, on the hour for 3 months and was depressed because I let having a job become more important than having a goal.

Find a way to stay motivated and hold onto that shyt.

see, another thing is this. it's like my uncle says, "it's never a day of work so long as you doin' somethin' you love"

if a rapper or an mc loves what he or she is doin' when it comes to makin' the music, the time flys by. it's almost like it ain't even enough time in the day to do all of the music that they want too because they doin' somethin' that they love.

but you definitely gotta make sure you gettin' that sleep, eatin' healthy and gettin' some form of exercise

Breh, I was 25 working at Target and while I heard this song a few times, it spoke to me while I was scraping pizza from the industrial oven for 8.75 an hour.
I had to get out of there. Pink Floyd told me I had to.

In order to have a "killer work ethic" and be 'successful', you have to sacrifice things that the normal person doesn't - sleep is one of them.

you can do that but only for so long. after a while your health catches up with you and then you got another issue you dealin' with. then whatever it is you were workin' so hard towards falls to the waste side because guess what? you ain't able to be the productive person you could've been all along had you just got some damn sleep :francis:

like i said, you can do it but only but for so long, that shyt don't last long at all :martin:
