THE FUSE

You know the feeling: You promise yourself you’ll shut your laptop after you respond to one more email, one more report, or one more request from your boss. But the reality is that the to-do list never ends, and neither does the pressure that comes along with it. Even when the workday is over, your mind stays alert, looping through tasks, ideas, and even guilt for not doing enough. What used to be motivation for you now feels more like a compulsion — a compulsion to overperform and always be “on.”
