Dynamics of work, time and money and changing the world

Very obvious thing to see... the more I work the less time and energy I have for myself and things outside of my work but then if I don't work then I am stressed that I will have no money for food, rent etc. and I cannot enjoy fully the time that I have.

So this is the typical scenario for most of us living in the current economic system in which the resources are redistributed unequally and most of us have to struggle to survive.

But let's say that I have decided that I will do something to change the current system. Or we could use the term of "changing the world" instead of changing the system because it sound more familiar. But even though my goal of changing the world for better is noble and most of us would like it to happen, it doesn't mean that suddenly I will have the support of the masses and that I will get the money so that I can support myself and dedicate my time and energy fully and without distractions on changing the world. The reality is that I have to continue to do what I am doing ( work, taking care of my house, food, cleaning etc. ) and on top of it I have to dedicate my free time on activities towards changing the world and earning extra money because with this money I can be much more effective with the changing for example by letting others to know about my plan and trying to get them to join me etc. And to do this kind of activities I require money to buy the computer, organizing meetings, travel etc.

And here comes the challenge of time, money and work because working extra hours requires more energy of mine and I am getting tired. And when I get tired I cannot do as much as I could because I need to rest my body. Can you see it ? If I don't work extra then I don't have money to sponsor my activities and I cannot be effective with it but if I work too much then I am getting tired and I cannot do much either.

And this is what has happened with me lately. I have worked much then usual to get more money. But the more I was working the more tired I was and the less time I could spend on my activities towards changing the world. It was a struggle to keep up with it and eventually I had to reduce my time dedicated to it. On top of it earning more money was not as "effective" because the more I was tired the more money I was spending on keeping myself and my body in good state - e.g. eating in restaurants because I was tired to cook at home. And I had to do it because otherwise I would put too much stress on my body.

Thus I wanted to accelerate with my project of changing the world by earning more money but because I have got tired and exhausted then my effectiveness with it has dropped because I had to reduce the time that I could spend on it on resting my body. Thus it is obvious that I cannot go forward with my plan as fast as I would like to because if I try to accelerate with one element then I am being hold back by another. And within this there is a need for me to find a point of balance in which I can make constant step forwards. There are physical limits and I must obey them or otherwise I will get sick and I will get nowhere.
