If you don't take care of yourself through this repeating cycle, you won't get anything done properly. Great for pointing that out since we tend to undervalue it very often and keep pushing ourselves to the limit until we break.

Here you talk about studying in a traditional way: getting a degree at a University. But what about doing all that hard work through an informal study system? I'm just wondering out loud. Would you have done this in that scenario without getting a degree out of it?

Thanks for sharing!
