Being organized and staying that way is a mindset... almost an addiction of sorts.

But it doesn't really make sense to work on your goals for part of a day and have a job that doesn't serve your goals occupying so much of your time. If you want to organize your life around your goals, your career must be part of that. IMO it's the most crucial part. If 40+ hours of your life are being leaked away every week, that's a pretty major hole that needs to be plugged.

I think it's more efficient to be homeless working on your goals on a park bench than to give up so many hours just to have a roof. You may reach your goals faster with more time and no money than with more money and only a small slice of time. Time is a far more precious resource than money.
