There will never be a “right time”
There are always plenty of rivals to our work. We are always falling in love or quarrelling, looking for jobs or fearing to lose them, getting ill and recovering, following public affairs. If we let ourselves, we shall always be waiting for some distraction or other to end before we can really get down to our work. The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavourable. Favourable conditions never come.
"The things you tolerate set the standard for your life." - Scott Clary
Think about the things you are "tolerating" in your life and work, and how much different it might be if you didn't.
You are not stuck. There are so many incredible opportunities to level things up.
