To some extent I agree.

As a parent of two children under 4, I am exhausted.

Given my current obligations though, I’m compelled to keep going.

It’s 3:30am, I have a stomach bug and I’m about to give up on sleep for now and get some work done.

I’ll do this because it’s necessary to maintain a competitive productivity level with my peers.

Burnout is a luxury I can’t afford right now.
