Nothing wrong with going all in for a set period of time.

I agree :) That's why I wanted to write about it.

Sometimes it's needed to go all in.

I’d argue that what you are doing is balance, just on a broader spectrum of time. Dedicating a period of time to knuckle down to free yourself up at a time in the future to make the most of a different opportunity. Balancing your year rather than your day to day or week to week.

Just have to make sure that when you reach that point you were working towards, you stop and rest. I didn’t. I’d always find the next thing, for a variety of reasons, haha.

oh yeah! I mean, being OS for work won't be a walk in the park, but I will eventually be able to do fun things in my down time and start reading novels again haha.
