Lately, I’ve noticed how much we celebrate the hustle whether it’s pushing through brutal workouts or coding late into the night for a smart contract project. The “no days off” mentality gets praised, but I rarely hear people talk about what it takes out of you mentally.
I’ve seen climbers burn out from overtraining, and I’ve talked to devs who are exhausted from non-stop grinding. Sure, discipline matters, but when does it cross the line? How do you balance pushing hard with staying healthy, both physically and mentally? Would love to hear how others manage this, especially in high-intensity fields like fitness or tech.
