I know some people who seem to be able to push forward year after year after year, maintaining this extremely productive pace and having no apparent issues with burnout. I wonder what makes this possible, is it based in a healthy upbringing, some innate brain properties, or did they just luck out into a local equilibrium of life-work?

I wonder if it isn’t like social media: you only see one facet of their lives. Maybe after work they don’t have the energy to do anything at all, or maybe their relationships are a mess as a result, etc. You just don’t know how much their “work persona” sucks out of them.
