I don’t mean this to sound skeptical, but I am just curious from a standpoint of psychology. The first goal is to be less ambitious and to make a more realistic workflow. But, what if the other 9 aims, either individually or in the aggregate, are too ambitious? What if drinking and not sleeping enough is part of a realistic workflow? Not to say either of these things are not completely self-defeating in excess, they certainly are. However, because, as it seems, you are an ambitious person with high demands on yourself, perhaps it is realistic to expect that you will not get as much sleep as you could be getting and might need a couple drinks hear and there to cope with the stress you might endure. That is to say that your ambitions, and the toll they might take on you sometimes might be part of what it is to be who you are. I think that there is a pervasive social injunction today, particularly on the internet, to place pressure on oneself to take pressure off of oneself, ironically placing even more pressure on oneself. More than just pursue ones desires and aesthetics, one ought more to do it in a fashion that optimizes ones health and minimizes the potential damages that come with the territory of ambition. Of course, unrealistic ambition, in the extreme, might benefit from moderation, but perhaps part of this moderation is recognizing the extremity of actively placing more pressure on oneself to be more moderate. Even if dialing back seems like giving yourself permission to sleep and restraining yourself from the excesses of reading news, drinking, being ambiguous about your goals, and saying yes to what compels you, you must consider how doing all of these things might be integral to managing and coping with your core ambitions. Can you be you without any of these things? Perhaps to some degree, but to how much is worth consideration.
