Do Scholars Have Fun?

Do you have to sacrifice everything else to be a high performer? Can you have fun and enjoy life despite being a scholar? What does fun look like for hardworking people? Find out this and more in this chat between two scholars…

One thing that is clear is — You don’t have to sacrifice your lifestyle to be a high performing, After all, lifestyle is part of life. below are tips that can help you maximize your time to enjoy the fun in your lifestyle

Seek Clarity

If you are not 100% sure, then you are not clear. Don’t always have clarity when indeed you don’t. You will end up wasting your precious time and lose the time to Netflix and chill just because what you worked on wasn’t according to specifications. Do the extra effort of asking as many questions as required to be clear on any task assigned to you.

Work Smarter, not Harder

You must have heard this several times — Work Smarter, not Harder. according to a report from Forbes about High flyers:

  • Top performers are 55 times less likely to start projects they don’t finish
  • Top performers are 21 times less likely to experience tasks falling through the cracks
  • Top performers are 17 times less likely to have an inbox full of unread emails.

The last one shock me 😅. but the lesson is clear — work smarter, not harder

Know When To Take a Break

If you don’t know when to take a break, it will be difficult to truly be a high flyer. working round the clock doesn’t make you a high performer, as a matter of fact, your brain gets so stretched and it becomes difficult to be at your best.
