High cortisol levels make you stupid. Its not about who can handle burnout the longest, its about creating a healthy life rhythm that is sustainable and fueled by passion, not obligation.

One of the big things people overlook is getting enough sleep. They think they need to sleep less to get more done, but this only works in the short term. I sleep at least 9 hours a night and I try to turn off the screens at least an hour before I go to sleep. This has made a huge difference in my life.

Great advice. I also noticed a positive impact of the quality of my work when I started following similar behavior. I started by forcing myself to rise with the sun, instead of trying to stay up all night.
