after over a year of relentless shipping, reacting to endless requests, tight deadlines and what was happening around me, I've realized that a part of my brain gradually became numb. the constant pressure made me highly productive, but also prevented me from thinking creatively and seeing the bigger picture as I used to. not sure if this is a common experience, but regaining that mental clarity feels like moving with ease again after an intense training regime. like sama I also believe burnout doesn’t come from working too hard but from a lack of progress or momentum, in fact I never truly stopped working since I started @slice in 2020. however mental strain is real and without rest the brain cannot function properly. so founders, don't forget to rest and zoom out.

All too true. That’s why you see the graphic shared with sprint, rest, sprint. We forget the rest part and just continue working through which eats away at the creativity part

I love to be in the zone, outworking others, but also realized how some experienced guys get decent results with families & less time in front of the laptop. Sometimes might be due to doing more high impact things but I also attribute this to zooming out, (re-)thinking vs simply pushing through. Lifting analogy makes a lot of sense: You need rest too to grow. thx for sharing. 1000 $degen PS: I'm not arguing for a 40 hour week. Outworking is still possible.
