This pattern simply isn't sustainable and should not be maintained for anything other than short bursts.
The level of those short bursts is variable based on your own individual conditions (i.e., single college kids vs. married fathers of two), but the end state is the same if exceeded: burnout.
My advice would be to find a method that works well, and do it longer. The world is not going to end because your MVP wasn't released in three months.
- Hisoka 15y agoI agree. I did this for 5 months and counting, and the thing is I am horrible at detecting when I am starting to burn out. Last weekend, I experienced a very scary panic attack while I was commuting back home. It felt like my brain cells were literally killing each other, and that something extremely horrible was going to happen. I thought I was going to have a heart attack... when I went home, I told myself to take the weekend off which I did.. I got a massage, and now I've promised myself to sleep on time everyday, and get up earlier. Everyone thinks mental breakdowns and insanity happens to "other people" (the ones in mental hospitals, the ones taking Prozac, etc). What we don't realize is that mental breakdowns can easily happen to us if we don't take care of ourselves.
- vinnycoyne 15y agoI've also tried the same and found myself getting sick quite often. In my experience, the downtime from being ill practically canceled out the late nights.
