"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Something that I've been thinking about a lot lately....

Is it possible to be focused on your goals, yet still have fun?

Is it possible to kick back and have fun, yet still be focused on your goals?

I'm having trouble with this....during times I'm focused on goals, I'm more serious and don't party or drink as much. Yet during times when I 'let my hair' down and enjoy myself, I feel a bit 'guilty' for not being focused on my goals.

Surely there has to be some kind of 'middle ground' here?

Can anybody shed any light about how to focus on your goals, yet still remember to have fun in life, without one compromising the other?
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

It really helps if your goals bring some type of enjoyment to your life. I don't understand why so many people believe that setting goals is a chore and overall not fun. How a person perceives their goals is as personal as the goals themselves. They have the choice to either enjoy the process or dread it.

Balance is important.

However, time is finite for all of us.

The time you spend doing one thing CANNOT be used to do something else.

ie. 24 hours in a day.

I block off the time for classes, time to sleep, and time for meals. Whatever is left I can devote to studying, or partying. One OR the other. It's up to you what you do with that time, but you do not have the time to do both and both equally well. That is impossible. You may however, do both and do both mediocrely well...but if you want to excel in one area, the simple answer is to put in more time.
