Just went down a rabbit hole reading your pieces - love the work.
I like the takeaway here about having some or ease when trying to achieve things.
I used to think pushing and going with all cylinders firing is optimal and 'good'. But after a stint with burnout, I had to find some other ways to get work done without falling apart.
I'm still trying to strike a balance and figure out where does 'hustle mode' fit in.
e.g. Pick the more impressive job that promises financial upside + hospital bills or pick a path that's unconventional and may not lead to a similar financial upside but can protect my energy and health (more scope for achieving with ease)
