I’m one of those assholes who has to negotiate dates and times even 4 months or a year out. I live by my calendar and my schedule is always packed M-F.
Organization is the opposite of burn out for me. I get burned out when my day is chaotic and lacks structure. I’ve been in my field a long time and know how to work best for my needs.
i’d bet some big dollars that (almost) everyone who overworks and burns out does it from necessity rather than ongoing choice. i myself might have been the exception, and even still, i think few would ongoing choose to overwork.

I’ve been doing this for 10 years. I know how to work best for my physical and mental health.

I’m a stranger on the internet, I enjoy inventing negative interpretations to make people look worse.
Certainly, I said that because it may not work like that for everyone.

but they just told you they aren’t doing that
I’m not talking about that commenter in particular, I’m talking about people in general.
What do you do that keeps you so busy?
I’m a Sysad. I don’t have a massive workload, I just keep things organized. I got into the habit when I was in IT management and it stuck.
