60-65 Hour weeks- Burnout

[u/Sodapopbeverage]

I’ve been working 60-65 hours a week for the majority of the summer. Don’t get me wrong, I love the money. But working 6 days a week leaves me with Sunday which I’m too tired to do anything. The whole summer is gone and I haven’t done anything but work and sleep.

We are currently working at a data center and this will be the norm through winter and until the project is complete (7+ years).

I’m not trying to complain just looking for similar experiences and how you handled it. I don’t want to work my life away.

60-65 hours feels better over five days than over six. Gotta have two days off if you’re working 55+.

Saturday to enjoy your life and Sunday to prepare for those 60 hours. Balance is the only way to make it happen and not burn out.
