One of the major keys to my volume of output has been spending time alone
No matter how good the other person / friends / family are
Being alone is the cornerstone of productive creative output
As soon as others enter the mix, complications arise.
Solitary >

I still have incredible network of friends and family and amazing people I love
But I still had to/have to do things solo to really hit maximum stride
There’s a reason the wise wiZard hermit lives by himself
Just the way it is

Now your trade off then is what kind of life do you want
The upper echelons of achievement is a lonely road… that’s why not many take it
