"A human being is the kind of machine that wears out from lack of use. There are limits, or course, and we do need healthful rest and relaxation, but for the most part we gain energy by using energy...If we could tap as little as an added 10 percent of this vast resource, our lives would be significantly altered."
George Leonard, author of Mastery, has a terrific point. We actually expend a great deal of energy deciding not to do things that we could. We invest the time we could spend on projects of value on Netflix binges or sleeping in.
If we somehow found the ability to dig deep and push ourselves just a little more, while making a few sacrifices we could significantly alter our way of living - multiplying our productivity along the way.
In time it would become habit. We'd get energy by using it.
