Agreed. Crunch times at work, 10+ hour days for years left me burnt out even after being out of that for 5 years. Too much edge of your comfort zone can ruin your life!

For me, the work was so easy, easy things became impossible, and I, complacent.

too much comfort can lead to not being able to deal with trivial, and more trivial, tasks.

its the easy tasks, procrastinating into a wave, that accumulate exponentially the quickest.

For me it was not crunch time but constantly challenging myself. Did I hope to see something on the other side?
