My job is contemplating. I am a director at a well-funded startup. My day is meetings, design, and thinking. Cannabis helps me relax in the evening, and that's when I decompress and let my brain figure out the next steps I need to take across my projects, write explanatory documents, etc. I have to pay extra attention to health and sleep so that I can have more control over my focus and reliably transition my mind to family time.
In general, patience, strategy, and self-motivation have helped me achieve goals I would never have dreamed of 10 years ago.
