im always a little intrigued when i see these stories.

list of applying so-called perfect formulas for an efficient work-bee style life that you're apparently supposed to be craving for.

my take:

- never know if real or wishful thinking

- most formulas have simple common sense equivalents for each person. yet it seems many are drawn to a "must have some formula to follow that has been spelled out and named by someone". ie: don't wanna learn, prefer to apply some magic formula - blindly. sounds dull to me.

- wrong amounts in formulas. it never achieves balance. balance is in my eyes the most important thing in the world. and im not talking just work/life balance. even if one could sustain a worker bee type schedule - and im sure some can - the ones i see arent efficient. 15min x2 workout really? averaged what you found in the past 3 such blog posts to do this? looks like so.

finally - do you really need to follow a guide on how to make bullet lists and organise a notebook? reeeallly? if you never try to solve any such problem on your own, you'll never achieve what you're looking for.
