it's a skill and art to know when to no longer give something more of your time .

The reason I get burned out working 40 hours a week is because I don’t waste time when I’m working / in the office. I can’t seem to “take a break” because I’m getting paid for my time and feel guilty if I do.

I’ve occasionally seen co-workers on YouTube throughout the day, and I’m like, “wtf”.

I don’t see it penalized and I’m not their manager and I’m not tracking their output. I guess if it works for them then it works for them, and no one’s complaining, except my own pride or righteousness.

Maybe that’s what they need to handle a full time work load. But in that case it’s not really full time? It doesn’t feel right to me so at my current place I work significantly reduced amount of hours for a proportional paycut. And I only work when I’m working.

Then change it bro

Thanks for mentioning the 'After On' podcast with Naval! I was unaware, I'll give it a listen as I always find his talks fascinating.
