Sam Parr describes MrBeast's work cycle: obsessive focus on a task until mental breakdown, one recovery day, then repeat. He works at maximum intensity every day and only uploads videos he considers the greatest, refusing anything subpar.

The way I like to work is like, I like to go basically wake up, obsess over something, go to bed, wake up, obsess, go to bed, like every second of the day until I just have a mental breakdown. I burn out and then I like take a day off and I like to go right back to it. So I don't like work certain days, I just go as hard as I can, every ounce of my entire body until I just crash. And somehow that's sustainable. Are you a perfectionist? Well, of course. I just like to make the greatest YouTube videos possible and that's, that's literally all I want. If it's not the greatest video, I just won't upload it.
