When co-founders fear rest will kill their competitive edge

My co-founder and I are both workaholics who bond over late nights and weekend work sessions, but we're starting to crash and our decision-making is getting sloppy. We're afraid that if we start resting more we'll lose the intensity that's driven our success, but we can't keep going like this.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The identity built around relentless effort resists the very restoration that would sustain excellence.
