But the truth is, is that it's not a flex.

Are there maybe some benefits to being this way?

Sure.

But I think ultimately, it is not a pleasant way of life.

I think it leads to burnout so frequently that it's

The productivity is actually not as productive as it seems, if that makes sense.

Like I actually don't think I end up getting any more done than somebody who maybe doesn't possess the traits that I have.

The difference being I'm so stressed about, you know, constantly doing things.

that I end up doing too much in a burst of energy coming from a place of stress and almost like desperation.

Then I exhaust myself to the point where I can't do anything.

And then that makes me feel so terrible that then I have a terrible phase of restfulness where I'm beating myself up, feeling guilty, blah, blah, blah.

And eventually I muster up just enough energy for another burst.

And then I get burnt out again and the cycle continues.

So it's not a flex.

It's one of my greatest challenges, I think.
