On Nora Roberts quote, I just realised that I've been saying a similar line to my team for quite some years, except that instead of ball, I use plates.

"but at the end of the day, I get things done because getting them done helps people I care about."

This is exactly the kind of thing I've realized in college. I learn best when I'm learning not just for myself, but to teach someone else. Making hypothetical study guides for a classmate or figuring out a topic to help someone else with homework is much easier than "do task because I need to".

"My lists are in service to my happiness, and I will not sacrifice my happiness on the altar of productivity."

This as well. At the end of the day I'll never put my academics over my personal health. It's just not worth it, I need sleep, and I can find different ways to manage my grades that don't involve self-destruction.
