I agree wholeheartedly. My guess would be one of:

- reverse causation fallacy: People who change the world (scientists, big entrepreneurs, politicians) often work a lot of overtime. Since I work overtime, I must be changing the world.

- cognitive dissonance: Surely I wouldn't be working overtime if my work weren't important!
