It has to be sustainable. You could have a productivity system of working 72 hours straight at the beginning of the week and get everything done. Cool, you can do that but you're probably going to last two weeks, tops. This is a long marathon. I think the best way to conceptualize it is as a marathon of sprints. So you sprint—you work really hard on something—you stop, you rest, you reassess, you analyze, you improve, and then you sprint again. Fundamentally if that whole arc is not sustainable in the long run, you're just going to crash and burn.

At HighExistence we've had many interns start working with us all excited and eager.
Many told us they had been fans of the blog for years. They would work hard and do anything it takes. They would seize this opportunity with both hands.
Then it came time to WORK.
Crunch time. Effort. Dedication. Good communication. Innovative contributions. Self-discipline.
Let me be clear, many of the interns who worked for us did a stellar job. I'm still friends with many to this day.
But there has only ever been one intern who went from a small unpaid position to a fully fledged HighExistence team member who is not just useful to have on the team, but is indispensable.
Meet Eric Brown: Director of Operations at Apotheosis Retreats, Leader of the Apotheosis Integration Experience, Manager of Social Media, Editor at HighExistence, and all around productivity ninja...
Eric has an amazing ability to practice what he preaches. He's the guy that follows up on his recommendations. Works hard. Meditates. Reads. Organizes. And lives a "HighExistence."
He is someone who is always striving to improve without any of that frantic, frustrated stress most of us have.
To Eric, self-improvement is not about running away from a person he doesn't like, but about skipping toward a reality he prefers.
What you're about to listen to is a 3-hour conversation between Eric and I, and as you might imagine, we cover a lot of topics!
There is more that is real than what you can touch. When you touch money, you're touching cotton or paper. Money is an idea; a country is an idea; a government is an idea, so there are things that we consider real that we can't touch. Once I accepted that... that was a big catalyst. Because then you get into exploring emotion, exploring subtle energy in the body, and so on.
