I spent a good part of my 20s trying to be as productive as possible. I always had projects that I was working on and wasn't particularly satisfied with what I was doing for a living. I felt like I always needed to be pushing myself—learn something new, get better at something I know. I don't regret it at all. I'm in an excellent position today because of how hard I pushed myself. Maybe there's a bit of difference because most of my productive drive was used outside of work. Burnout is terrible. At the same time, you won't get to where you want to be in life without effort.
