Anyone have tips on self imposing pressure? I perform extraordinary under
pressure. Literally, I become unstoppable. However, I have a bad habit of
rationalizing (almost in a Nietzsche way) that the pressure is artificial if
self induced, and it won't work. I can't pscyhe myself out.

It depends on your situation.

Part of mine is that I've had 3 bosses straight up steal money from me over
the years. So the fear/pain of getting screwed by another boss is greater than
the pain of starting a company.

Apart from that, I don't know about you, but I came to the realization of how
short life is awhile back. You have 70 or so years to do your thing, then
that's it. You're dead. For me at least, the pain of dying and not having done
anything with my life, is more than the short-term pain of working on your
dream.

So I don't know man. I'd say it's more what do you want out of life vs self
imposing pressure.

occurred to me:

1\. No smartphones

2\. No internet

3\. No social media

4\. The news came maybe once a week (correct me if I'm wrong)

playing an instrument or writing something
