I love how far removed from reality these idealistic blog posts are from "technology thinkers".

You're busy? You shouldn't be so let me give you some cookie cutter advice filled with: "you need", "you should", "you could". More in my book.

I don't think this is removed from reality. I think people who are in perma-crunch believing that just over the next hump they'll find level ground are the ones who are removed from reality.

This is spoken like someone that has yet to really face any real and lengthy incredibly stressful life events. I really wish I could be this privileged and out of touch to make a statement like this.

If you want to remain functional during lengthy and stressful life events, it is critical to understand your capacity, prioritize the tasks ahead, seek skilled collaborators/contractors, and forgive yourself for the things you simply cannot do.

When a life-crisis turns into an extended campaign, it is essential to know how to prevent yourself from burning out. Burning beyond that level must be reserved for true emergencies, where the goal is to bring things back into a new balance.

If you're operating beyond your capacity for too long, the endeavor will begin to stumble. That's what the article was trying to help the reader avoid.

I could be mistaken, yet can't help but imagine divorce when reading such lines:

>When a life-crisis turns into an extended campaign

It's sad to see people trying hard to keep a stoic stance while such a vile thing is being done to them. Why such ruinous dynamics didn't get a society-wide political solution for a decade after decade...

My generation is afraid to marry due to reading such stories.

With the important acknowledgement that divorce can be devastating to many people, especially children (myself included):

One can readily argue that divorce was created to solve the problem of entrapment in unhealthy marriages.

The possibility of divorce ought to make people more willing to marry; it is possible to escape if everything goes wrong.

Well this seems like a useful attitude to have.

Some people probably can’t escape their workload with better time management. Fair! Some people certainly can though (I know many such cases), rendering your comment a little ridiculous, and extremely rude.

Note for future empathy exercises: most people encounter difficulties in their lives.

This is spoken like someone who has faced too many lengthy events like this, and doesn't enjoy thinking there may have been a way around some of them.
