So one thing nobody tells you about ambition is how athletic you can get when you're figuring things out together.
Everybody has time, but when you start talking your goals seriously, you're available to change.
When I did start taking my goals seriously, I missed a lot of plans. I said no more. I spent my weekend working while everybody else is outside and I started losing people. And it's true that that is the part that hurts, especially when you never wanted to lose them. But I don't think the answer is to go back to the old version of yourself just because it had more company.
