🤮 Hustle Bustle Muscle Tussle

There’s no way to describe how much I wanna hurl at “Hustle” as a culture.

Required? Sometimes. Sustainable? No times.

If this is what you’re being taught, some of the stuff they’re not teaching includes things like:

  • Self care
  • Mental health
  • Balance
  • Quality time with whoever is important to you
  • Downtime
  • Time in your “Nothing Box” (look it up)
  • Hobbies

And a bunch of stuff I’ve left out that simple doesn’t contribute (directly anyway) to your work or your income.

We all have to grind it out occasionally.

Personally though, I look for ways to minimise that as much as possible, and prioritise other things in that list above.

They say “Future you will thank you” – so while I know he’s somewhere between 5 minutes and say 60 years from now… whenever that is, I hope we’re still friends 🙂

What have I missed from the list above…?

We acknowledge that we work on Wangal land of the wider Eora nation now known as Sydney. Wangal land sadly no longer inhabits any Wangal people.

We pay respect to the Elders of the past, as well as current and emerging Elders of surrounding lands and beyond. Let's all care for Wangal land, the Eora nation and Country.

For self-employed creatives, normal business traps are easy to fall into and overcomplicate things - but they’re totally avoidable when flying solo.
