Is hustle culture toxic and how do I escape it?
Work, Stress & Burnout
Hustle culture can be toxic, promoting burnout and neglecting well-being; escape it by setting boundaries and defining your own version of success.
Hustle culture, which glorifies overwork and constant productivity, can be toxic because it often leads to Occupational burnout, Anxiety disorder, and neglect of personal well-being. To escape it, you need to define your own version of success that includes rest, Interpersonal relationship, and health. Set firm Personal boundaries around your work hours, take your vacation time, and learn to say no to things that aren't aligned with your priorities. It can be hard to go against the cultural grain, but remember that sustainable success is a marathon, not a sprint. Your health is your most valuable asset.
