If no one else says it, I’m here to deromanticize and reinfluence you from workaholism. You see the academic achievements, the stacked resumes, and t25 schools on the application list and think “I wish I had that problem” but for every 12 hours spent diligently working there’s 60 more hours laying in bed staving off the thoughts and wishing to die . Turn back before it’s too late

I like to think of my work as a video game. The further you go, the harder the levels get = the harder you work, the harder it is to keep working because you start getting tired. But with a video game, you don’t immediately jump to the hardest level— you train, you get used to the game controls, etc. working to me is very much the same, I don’t constantly aim to work until I pass out (as much as I’d like to) because it would just physically hurt too much in the process. I strategically get myself used to sleep deprivation, dehydration, hunger, etc. so my body can get used to functioning like that while still working. The end goal, ofc, is to fully collapse one day from working— like pass out, lose consciousness— it means I’ve actually done *everything* I can, worked to my absolute limit, maximized productivity. What’s cool about that is that your body knows exactly what your limit is and won’t let you cross the limit by collapsing, so you don’t even have to worry about “crossing limits,” when your body physically won’t let you do it for you.
