One of the few people who are actually competent.

Although most likely she’s well compensated, and doesn’t have to waste time on useless efforts at work, this level of discipline and striving towards a goal is just very rare in general.

Possibly also no family, limited social life and no other hobbies.

For myself, when I lived on a different continent to my family, had limited social life and job with strictly set hours, it was much easier to have the time needed to make significant progress on a hobby.

However, discipline is an enormous factor too, actually using that extra available time on something “productive” is no easy feat.

Now I have kids and live in the same area as my parents and siblings again, entirely happy, but less free time.
