Eventually, after a few hours of “recharging,” I’d start to feel guilty for not using my time in more productive ways. I should be out with friends, I’d tell myself. I should be working on creative projects. I should cook myself a nice, healthy dinner. I’d start to feel stress about everything I needed to accomplish the next day. And then, the next morning, the cycle of guilt, overwork, and exhaustion would start up all over again.
