If you can still hit the gym and get adequate amounts of sleep, there’s little reason to look for “balance” on a work day in your 20s.
Work hard towards a big mission alongside a group of dedicated people…and you’ll save money cuz
@Traba_Work
is paying for dinner.
@chrishlad
What do we need more balance for in our 20s?
To catch up on Netflix?
To play more Xbox?
To go clubbing?

Pros and Cons lists aren’t effective in finding the right answer. Instead, rank your objectives. Then choose the option that aligns closest with the most important objective. If you get to a tie, then go on to the next most important objective.

True - we wouldn't be satisfied with $24B
2. Linkedin Should Have Been More Valuable than Facebook:
We did not have an Olympian work ethic.
We had French engineers who worked 35 hours per week.
Reid could not get the stellar quality of talent Mike has been able to get and that propagates across the team.

Founders - this is who you are competing with.
Very few people are willing to go all-in, work hard, and brute force momentum. Traba is doing that though.
Enjoy!
