The Only Life Hack I’ve Ever Used to Get My Sh*t Together
I’d vomit, pass out, get random diarrhoea, or have an anxiety attack at any moment.
Your life can fall to pieces in a day.
That’s the harsh truth. It happened to me. Everything I worked for blew up overnight. Pretty soon I was lying against the side of my ridiculously priced BMW and wondering what the heck to do.
I’d never done proper job interviews before that moment and I was 26. The words “startup” and “entrepreneurship” were the fastest way to be shown the door. Apparently established companies hate these words.
You’re a threat if you’ve tried to start a business. You might steal their business and the peeps in suits are afraid (mostly afraid because they wouldn’t dare to try themselves).
So I did something that shocked everybody:
I took a job with an enormous pay cut in a call centre.
My friends said “this job is beneath you.” They didn’t understand the point. The job helped me get my sh*t together, and that’s worth more than a mediocre salary.
Quit complaining
The traditional approach when everything falls apart is to complain.
