SNAPlife: Should You Be Power-leveling? - s2e128

That thing you want to do? How are you going to get there?

You can put your blinders on, focus on the goal, and charge forward. You can ignore all the distractions and single-mindedly attack the goal, get it done, and move on.

Power-leveling is a reference to gaming whereby you set a single goal and forsake everything else as you work towards it. Applying this idea to real life is to attend to and only to the demands of the accomplishment you are seeking.

The upside to this is getting done and moving on.

But…

When power-leveling, you don't take time to see the sights and experience the ambiance as you work toward you goal. You miss out.

If you've been there before and know what your missing, that's one thing. But if you sacrifice quality of life as you go for you goal, then make sure the destination is worth sacrificing the fun stuff on the journey getting there.
