For me, the dopamine hit when I solve a difficult problem solved can be amazing. Though, I find that if I don’t balance it out with other stuff (like golf, travelling, etc.) I tend to burn out a bit. As someone who has solved some incredibly difficult problems, how do you maintain a balance?


Sometimes I just want to work with my hands rather than my head. Then I just go to my car with my tools and work on it.

But it's still creating things, just a different way.

I believe that people were made to work, struggle, and achieve. Idleness and purposelessness kills.
