All or nothing

There are so many ways of approaching the things we want to do and achieve and get done. While the healthiest way to have a go at anything is to try and give it a rest and try it again, the most efficient way is to go all out. To give it everything you’ve got, to pick up a guitar for the first time and say ‘in three weeks I will be able to perform this new song I heard on the radio, at a party’, and then to go for it, to neglect the other aspects of life and put it before everything. This is not commonly considered healthy or recommendable because the other aspects of life that get pushed into the background and ignored and neglected can be important like tests or vital like eating. After all as much as we want to get good at something fast, or get something done fast, we do not want to end up like the person who starved to death because they did not stop playing world of warcraft. We want to get good at it, but we still want to work and socialise and everything else. What we need to consider is wether in this circumstance how efficient do we need to be, and how much of a priority do we make it. Do we give it two hours a day to be top priority or do we just do it as we have the time, or do we go all out and not eat for three days? Do we risk being hospitalised over this?
