Sam Parr describes working at maximum intensity every waking moment until mental collapse, then taking a day off before repeating the cycle. He runs on a treadmill he somehow sustains, operating at a level he calls "on like 12."
Does it scare you that you can't stop? The way I like to work is like 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. It's like a treadmill. We're on like 12 and somehow that's sustainable.
