Energy over strategy: what keeps discipline strong to do the hard things. And how I've worked for 100 days with ZERO days off. And loving it!

Angela Shurina Season 2025

Ever wondered why some people seem consistently productive and energized while others constantly bounce between burnout and recovery?  

The answer isn't superhuman genetics or fancy supplements - it's understanding the fundamental science of energy management

After working for 100+ consecutive days without a traditional day off, I've discovered something counterintuitive: sustainable productivity has nothing to do with motivation or willpower. It's about aligning with our biological design rather than fighting against it. Weekends are social constructs, but rest is biological. When you implement strategic, science-backed rest protocols throughout your day, you can maintain high energy levels without requiring complete disconnection. 

This approach is validated by leaders like Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, who dedicates significant space in his productivity blog to health optimization. This isn't about pushing through fatigue—it's about preventing fatigue from accumulating in the first place.
