So Sharp the Blades of Clocks

My one desire recently has been to slow down. Time is on fast-forward and I'm caught in a vicious cycle of wake up, work, sleep a few hours, repeat. All the schedule pressures and stress are causing me to start resenting what I actually enjoy doing.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who experiences this, and I can't help but feel that I am not doing something correctly. There has to be a way to balance work and life, even while expanding a startup.

I read about the CEO's of well established companies and become envious, but not because of their money. I envy the low-stress, high output lifestyle they lead: Wake up and go for a run, read a new book every week or so, visit different cities, write articles about where they want the company to go. I'm sure they have to deal with a lot of pressures, but that's the difference: They know how to deal with it without letting it affect their passion or life.

By the end of the year, I need all this figured out.
