      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.

        Most I think, but there are also people who do it from self inflicted pressure. For example people who are blindly loyal to their company without realizing it will not go both ways. Or people who were convinced by their education that if they are not productive all day every day, they are wasting their lives.
