    It's quite liberating to be totally shit at everything and fail everybody's expectations. For some reason we all hit rock bottom at some point. I'm reminded of this talk from Simon Sinek when somebody at Google asked him what his worst moments in life were - a rather weird question, but the answer was great - his life was falling apart and that somehow led him to do more: https://sahilparikh.com/simon-sinek-the-fini…

    Yes, there is a lot to manage! I try to use a lot of web tools to automates tasks for Brightpod.com. I wrote a post on it early 2013. Might be helpful - http://sahilparikh.com/post/45667459164/how-we-use-saas-apps... I have realized that exercise is a great stress-buster! Do it daily.
