Over the coming weeks, temper your daily grind with rewards and little treats. If your energy spikes as you tackle your to-dos, enjoy the rush. Just remember: Cushioning “hustle mode” with ample relaxation time makes logging hours sweeter and more sustainable. Whether that means unwinding with an afternoon ice cream cone or a vigorous dance class is up to your pleasure palate. And if you start to feel combative with your peers, channel the heat toward beating your own personal best. Your most satisfying victories will always be against yourself.
