Entrepreneurs burn out faster than employees because they don't have somebody telling them when to be off vs on. A construction worker putting in 60 hour weeks who drinks beer all weekend has less burnout risk than a 27 year old running an agency because the construction worker knows that he can be totally offline when he gets home. Being "always on" gives you zero time for your stamina bar to fully recover. The work is menial enough that you don't notice you're totally depleting yourself until your nervous system shuts down. You effectively have two options here: - Learn how to shut your brain off (easier said than done) - Change your approach to work The best approach is a mix of the two. You can chad ram your way through work with stimulants for maybe 5 years before it really catches up to you. Effective in the beginning but unsustainable. You need to learn to approach your work in a parasympathetic state. Most of us spend 90% of our time in the sympathetic state when we're really only meant to rely on that fight or flight maybe 10% of the time. You think you're getting "in the zone" but you're really just cortisol-maxxing and burning through all of your body's most important resources. Save the chad ramming for when it really counts. Your day to day goal should be "how relaxed can I be while doing what needs to get done?" Don't waste your life's potential getting burnt out before 30.
