Yeah. Extreme productivity (or at least the public perception of it) almost always comes at extreme cost. In particular social skills suffer, because it's almost always a sign of highly skewed time spent doing not-social stuff. One of my bigger realizations as a kid was that a lot of the role-models held up as options for "who do you want to be like" were... not people I wanted to be anything like at all. They achieved things, but loads of them were pretty clearly struggling and/or terrible people in many ways. Sometimes fame destroys people and some other times it takes plowing through tons of other people to get what you want, and I don't want either of those.
