We glorify the 80-hour work week in the startup world. When I started building my health-tech company here in Dhaka, I convinced myself that sacrificing sleep, skipping meals, and ignoring my personal relationships was just the "temporary price of admission" for success.
It wasn't until I found myself staring blankly at my laptop for two hours unable to write a single email that I realized: I wasn't being productive; my nervous system was just completely fried.
I ended up diving deep into the clinical psychology behind chronic stress, which completely changed how I view productivity. (Spoiler: treating your brain like a machine without maintenance leads to catastrophic technical debt).
