Thoughts on workaholism

hello
this week, between friday morning and monday night, I did 38 hours of work
Which was a lot, I basically worked the whole time except for a few hours.
It happened to coincide with a maplestory streamer training all the hours I was working so that was pretty fun
It was like having a desktop virtual pet and the more I worked, the more they progressed
As for the work itself, I feel like I've become an expert consultant at [Netsuite data exports] and [Zoho CRM and Books data imports], which is to say,
I am very cool!
It's made me want to write up some dev notes on it.
Unfortunately the last week of "basically only doing work" has put my brain in a gear that I take a while to get out of - always in this "engaged" infinite problem-solving and planning mode. It makes me think about work 24/7 and I don't give myself time or space to do anything else (including eating food!).
There's so much I should be doing other than work, like working on the layouts site (the shop link I still have not had the courage to publish), drawing, and making this site really cool.
Being an all-or-nothing person, I find comfort in just spending all my time and thoughts towards one thing.
It gives me a bit of a high
Hopefully in the coming weeks I can be a little more work-life balanced.
A todo list for me:
☐ about page
☐ projects: maple blog
☐ teppy layouts: art site layout
