My only thought is...learn to pace yourself. Getting 'the thing' done is what is required, not going at a pace that you get so 'caught up' in it, that you have difficulty relaxing...even when you need to relax! The research says to try and maintain a schedule. Keeping your circadian rythem regular, is to your benifit. Find as much as possible to appreciate, about what you are doing. That should help to keep you from burning out. Best of luck.

How about me... staying retired and continue receiving my retirement checks.

Work 15 hour days and frequently 6 and 7 day weeks for years. If you enjoy your work. No problem if you don't find something you enjoy doing.

just get on with it

I watch YouTube as much as possible.

I stopped being able to do this by age 30.

I worked a lot of double shifts prior to that though. (Security and Human Services). If you're there and someone calls in? You're stuck there. Period.

Sometimes I even intentionally volunteered. (What was I thinking?). Face palm....

I have to say protein helped with staying alert. Not having access to decent food could make it a very long 16 hours. Also - coffee.

Did NoDoz just once when I worked a 32 hour weekend and slept on the bench seat of a car overnight. Will never do that again.

Im on minimum wage so I often work 14hr+ days just to make enough cash. just used to it I guess.
When im not working I get really serious about doing stuff I like. I rarely jus loll about at home. And I always take an instrument to work so I can play during my break.

Typically I Cry Alone in the bathroom for about half an hour LOL
