High performers think burnout comes from overwork.
Often, it comes from over-editing your own life.
Every time you delay action to “get it perfect,” you train your brain to believe:
“Nothing you do is safe until you’ve second-guessed it first.”
That’s not discipline.
That’s self-sabotage wearing an excellence badge.
If you want to last at the top, don’t just perfect the work, perfect your relationship with the work.
Perfectionism is self-doubt with better branding.
