Might be true in cases. For me however I love bootstrapping transloadit so much, that if I don't force upon myself different activities, I'm doing it all-the-time. The burnout symptoms that ensued at some point were a true wakeupcall for me. Even when I was with family I'd be learning about new tech on my phone or plotting how to deploy it. Just so excited, thinking about the possibilities. But apparently excitement is a form of stress and you continuously be in such a state without your body protesting after long enough a time. So you see, you can also love what you so too much and you'll need to balance. I think balancing doesn't necessarily mean keeping things at 50/50. To me it means regular reflection to see if I need more of one side for my wellbeing. Now I try to plan e.g. running and more social activities, and I try to dedicate my entire brain to family/friends when I'm with them (vs phone distractions and scheming future tech/business ideas) to make sure there's more to me than work.
