"For myself, I think it's more important what I do when I'm busy putting away savings, when I'm very busy, because on the flip side of it, when it slows down, I'm able to enjoy that time, and focus on other projects and giving my attention to other things and just enjoying the little bit of a break when I do have it." - Andrew Jolley
