You want to be happy all your life? Focus on increasing your productivity not your salary.

I have been my highest high for the last 3 days. Highest energy, highest motivation, most focused and most productive. I am loving life. I can't go back and forth between the office and home because I have a transit time of 3 hours everyday. It's a job requirement of mine and I have to go to the office. <br><br>We were given a 3 day work from home opportunity and I am loving it. After my work I get so much more done and I can spend more time on passion projects. My list of things to do is getting shorter because I am getting more done and I am loving life. <br><br>If you want to be happy all your life then focus on increasing your productivity not your salary. <br><br>**EDIT:** The point of this post is to say that you can set boundaries to ensure a better life for yourself. I took a new job and I was told that I would have to come to work for 7.5 hours a day and commute for 3 hours. I did the commute for 3 days a week and on the 4th and 5th day I would work from home and focus on high leverage activities. I asked my office if I could work from home for 3 days a week but they wanted me to work from the office 5 days a week. I knew I couldn't commute for 5 days a week and I wasn't going to do that. I just quit the job. I don't want to ruin my health. A 6 hour commute for 5 days a week is crazy. I would have a job that would pay me $3000 every month but my health would suffer.
