If you want to get your most valuable and productive work done, it is best to become obsessed. If you are obsessed and care more about your project than anything else, it doesn’t matter how messy your office, how many interruptions you get, or how much work is required to finish the project.

The problem is that most people are not obsessed. They are not thinking about how to solve a single problem day and night. Instead, most are people here for meaningful work, a decent environment, and a way to support their families.

If you are looking for a balanced life, then you will constantly have to fight to be productive. You will continuously have to time block, clean your desk, sort your emails, and try your best to get deep work done. There is nothing wrong with this, most of us are living this life every day, but it can get tiring to constantly fight the uphill battle searching for the right productivity recipe.

When you tire of the productivity game, find a project, or even better, a mission to become obsessed with. When you become obsessed with a singular purpose you can create something truly new and innovative. Without all the distractions, you can work on the project until it is complete, at which point you will be left with a void that can only be filled with another obsession.
