>At the end are we happier if we follow our hearts?

Yes. Absolutely. I wholeheartedly agree with the author's conclusion.

Money is not the only thing which provides options; time does too. As you age, you tend to have fewer and fewer options.

People usually think that freeing up time at the expense of a cushy salary is an enormous opportunity cost.

But it is much rarer for us to think of freeing up money at the expense of time as a huge opportunity cost, even among people who make enough that they don't need to work 2000+ hours every year.

I wonder why. After all, how often do we say things like "time is money" to each other?

Lots of people mentioning tricks and "hacks" that work for them, and seconding techniques from the article, which is helpful.

But after reading a lot of these sorts of articles and threads over the years, the most consistently useful advice that I've seen is simple:

Learn discipline, because motivation will always fade.

It's like getting yourself to exercise regularly, or read at least a half-hour every day. Easy to get started, but even easier to skip a couple of days, then a week, then to stop altogether.

Like they say at Nike: "Just do it."
