My balance has been consisting of these primary tasks.

The most important part of the process was making a conscious decision to be consistent.
I am determined to work hard. I always try my best at something I am truly passionate about and dedicated to.
It was the constant determination and voice that said now, not later.

I was using a schedule.
This is crucial.

A great hack from @uxblake (that works phenomenally, which I have been using myself) says to write down your 3 primary goals of the day (on paper).
When you finish a task, have a 30-minute break and complete the next. When you finish all 3 goals, step away from the screen.
