I get the sense that digital nomadism is akin to a multi-level marketing scam; the only people making actual money are the ones recruiting others to the "lifestyle" by advertising their blogs, books and guides (see OP).

To me, rather the conceptualization(s) proposed, the words of John Carmack are immensely more powerful: when asked about what's the difference that being rich made to him, he replied "not much, I wake up in the morning, I go to work, and I do my best"¹.
¹=I can't find the reference. I don't think it comes from Masters of Doom.
This seems to me the idea(s) of a young person who's working (no pun intended) on the small picture, but missing the big one. In short, somebody who doesn't know yet what to do in life, however, not what to do in the planning or business sense (which is what described in the post), but more precisely, what they _want_ to do.

I think that this quote, while well meaning, misses what being lower class is. It's about the constance worry and anxiety over being able to provide. It's being terrified of every accident or potential set back. It's about constantly sacrificing wants for needs. Being even upper middle class alleviates many of these, and being rich alleviates almost all of them entirely.

a digital nomad myself I have to disagree. digital nomadism is just a life style like any other, and it's not for everyone. I know many ppl who tried it and went back to 9-5 jobs and thats totally fine

hehe, I didn't write one (yet :p). but if you wanna chat about it, i'm down. ping me on twitter
What I've learned is it's way better to just do stuff and improve things as you go (be that the optimal way to be a digital nomad or whatever ;)
I'm not sure how to find this kind of work. Some have advised that I should seek contract work. But contract work is hell, no thanks.
I have this idea where I can work my neck off for 4-6 months (including weekends; essentially eat, sleep, restroom, and work 24x7). And then I need the rest of the year off.

huh? A weird blog post becomes an ad for a book? Whatever this example should demonstrate, it doesn't make me curious about the book.
it wasn't meat as an ad, just for context. In some places I say "this chapter.." which doesn't make since in a blog post without context. also appreciate your honest feedback. Any personal thoughts on how to deal with procrastination without turning to a workaholic
You also assume your worldview. When i hear your digital nomade lifestyle i'm not envy it and i'm not connecting to your worldview.
Procrastination doesn't mean 'not working'. Workaholic doesn't mean 'unhappy'.
