I don't think that chasing money is a good idea at all. However if one is looking to create change, with actual external results to show for one's passionate labour, one has to come to grips with the market. Sustainable, continuous innovation is something that I personally value more than a life time of ideas with no results to speak of. I definitely admire Tesla and Edison. I only seek to emulate Edison more.

"Try to get something done every day" has been the hardest and most rewarding part for me. It seems like it is mostly just reconciling long term and short term incentives. I'm incentivized tin the long run to finish and launch my side project but there are a ton of other short term incentives competing for my time today.

Scott Adams would find this useful I think.

I used to work nights and go to school during the day so I learned really quickly how to break my sleep into 90min cycles. This kept me functional however, a string of successive sleep cycles let's you get a much deeper and energizing rest, in my experience.
