It's all-or-nothing (if you have to keep your job to pay the bills so be it) otherwise the forces who want to hold you back will be too strong. You will most notably see it in your own social circle or family. People will put a spoke in your wheel in crucial moments or as soon as you want to take off. If you have not a strong will to move forward this will get you. Even little and well-meant stuff like "you need a break", "you need sleep" or "you need a balanced life" are ways of them(and also yourself) to sabotage your efforts. Depression is the result of lack of progress/purpose and not of too much work or lack of sleep. Therefore the best it to optimize always with the goal in mind.
