Working hard and failing to get positive feedback causes burnout. If you feel constant pressure to work harder or deliver quicker, that your never good enough and on the brink of being fired you'll burn out.
If you love what you do and can't find the hours in the day to do it, you're lucky and keep going. Just avoid RSI, get enough sleep and exercise. You'll be fine.
