Where I work we try not to work like that. We break up work into manageable chunks. If someone is sick they take sick leave. If a project is too big for two shoulders it has probably been broken up anyway. Treat work like it’s the teams (although each item has one owner at a given time). Also avoid fake or real deadlines, but do provide estimates. This all fits into knowing your velocity and working standard hours such as 40h.

Outside of work, choose to relax, which might mean leaving a lot of stuff you should do go. Maybe the house doesn’t need to be tidy, or the kids can watch tv without you feeling guilty. Or use ubereats instead of cooking, or pause the side project, skip the run etc.
