I'm one of those assholes who has to negotiate dates and times even 4 months or a year out. I live by my calendar and my schedule is always packed M-F.
Why do you live like that?
There's nothing wrong with keeping busy
It could lead to a burn out.
Organization is the opposite of burn out for me. I get burned out when my day is chaotic and lacks structure. I've been in my field a long time and know how to work best for my needs.
If you plan more than what your physical or mental health allows, it may still end up like that.
I've been doing this for 10 years. I know how to work best for my physical and mental health.
I'm a stranger on the internet, I think I know what's best for you better than you do.
I'm a stranger on the internet, I enjoy inventing negative interpretations to make people look worse.
Certainly, I said that because it may not work like that for everyone.
i’d bet some big dollars that (almost) everyone who overworks and burns out does it from necessity rather than ongoing choice. i myself might have been the exception, and even still, i think few would ongoing choose to overwork.
Most I think, but there are also people who do it from self inflicted pressure. For example people who are blindly loyal to their company without realizing it will not go both ways. Or people who were convinced by their education that if they are not productive all day every day, they are wasting their lives.
but they just told you they aren’t doing that
I'm not talking about that commenter in particular, I'm talking about people in general.
What do you do that keeps you so busy?
