I have more than one kid and their personalities are a world different. One, since she was a baby, had the urgency to do things quickly and learn how to do more at all times. She would operate like she is on borrowed time since as long as she could move. She would ask for something once and go do it herself. Bring everyone else’s shoes after getting ready, while my son is still putting his pants etc. I was the same way. Growing up I had this feeling every second is precious. My mind can move fast and solve tough problems and invent and I didn’t want to waste it as time is precious. This urgency varies with time and varies in format. When we had babies, I would absolutely focus and enjoy every moment with them, because those are short and never come back either. And even so, my mind would come up with ideas, while holding a little one, and I would jot those down writing or dictating on my phone whenever necessary. Yes, there is also toxic workaholism - where financial pressures, peer pressure and other reasons cause people to be lost in the work and burnout. The biggest reasons for burnout in my book is not working too much, but working where the volume of work doesn’t match the reward, or where you ignore sleep depravation and don’t pay off sleep debt (not eating enough while working may lead to that as well). So if you are lucky enough to get people who are born machines of productivity, make sure you compensate them well so they don’t burn out and ensure they get adequate sleep. It pays pack quickly.
