Office Living Maximizes Focus

A story about how Shaan lived in his office for almost a year to focus entirely on making his business successful.

"When I was desperate to prove myself, I worked in this really fancy office. I slept there basically 275 days out of the year. It was nice to sleep there - they had an apartment built into the office, so it wasn't like I was sleeping under my desk on the concrete floor.

But nonetheless, that just meant I didn't have a life. I didn't want to have a life. I didn't want to care about friends and dating and other things. I cared about just making it. I just wanted to be successful really badly.

It's not even that I was super productive all those hours, but I was like 'Look, I'm gonna throw all my hours at the problem. I will sleep here, I will wake up here, that just seems more efficient.' I did that for several years."
