We don’t stretch to burn calories. However, in order to do the work that burns calories, stretching has to happen first. Who knows the value of stretching better than those who rushed onto the treadmill without stretching, only to end up injuring themselves and unable to get back on the treadmill for a month? Besides suffering pain, they were unable to do exactly the thing that they so eagerly rushed into doing.

Taking out time for learning is the same. Learning itself doesn’t bring in revenue. However, I need to learn in order to do the work that brings in revenue.

How much time should I set aside to learn? The highest performers are learning 17 hours/day.
