“Make it sustainable” was the part it took me a long time to realize - in my 20s I’d pull all nighters to finish things. When I got older, started a family, and worked on projects that take months or years, I’d still approach it like a sprint - I’m talking multiple times going a month of less than 2 hrs of sleep most nights, full nights sleep once a week, 5 years of working Saturday and Sunday.

Now I spend time with friends and family, treat weekends as sacred, and though I still don’t get as much sleep as I should, I get way more done than blindly putting in the hours.

People warned me of it and I didn’t listen, as I’m sure whoever needs to hear this won’t listen either, but 100%, treat it like a marathon and take care of your life holistically.
