I was running at a 9 for a long time until I stepped back and really thought about what I do for a living. Now I run closer to a 3. The secret to agency life is realising that we get paid to make shit up for a living and advance our clients' careers. Noone dies, noone really cares about our work, few people will remember it, and we openly mock our industry... Put a smirk on and enjoy the ride.
