Love the article! Honest reflections on shifting goals, is great.

I personally have found grinding and grit mostly counter productive unless it is accompanied by a reasonably short term outcome.

Also grinding continuously to get an abstract thing that might help you somedays is a recipe for burnout. Sustainable self improvement has to come from a place of intention, and the grid can service that intention in the short term; but sometimes you need to refuel your intention.
