Multiple income stream can be difficult.
At the moment I prefer to focus on one thing and then switch off.

You guys have a much more taxing job as well that's why. So it's understandable.
Yes same. I am 37 and old now...so not young and energetic as brother @mominsaigol
At this stage I just want to do my job and then relax post work.

No doubt. If it's something you enjoy then it's quite relaxing but that is hard to find.

I work from home (100% remote). So, my overtime doesn't feel like overtime.
I am online almost all day. Work or no work. I may go outside for a few hours in the middle for Jumuah or just to get coffee/fresh air.

Very strange.
More and more companies are letting workers to work remotely nowadays. Elon seems old school.
Just curious if anybody in the same boat as me who truly love their job?

I love the fact my work is remote. It saves me $300-$400 monthly in commute/lunch costs.
My manger is excellent. She is friendly and understanding.
Having said that, I have a few annoying coworkers (all are desis; LOL). I only interact with them if I really have to; I try to avoid them as much as I can. One of them blatantly slacks.
I have one Chinese coworker. She is pleasant. I love working with her.

I would return the favor and do it. Used to do it in my last job in the starting days but when I saw that they did not care about me or acknowledge me for my work, I stopped doing that and also left the job later on.
Toxic work environment is not tolerable for me.

Bengaluru woman warns of burnout after 6 months of 14-hour workdays: 'Heart was racing. Couldn't breathe'
A Bengaluru woman has warned about burnout after 6 months of 14-hour workdays, saying her body “gave up”.
A Bengaluru-based chartered accountant has sparked discussion around hustle culture after sharing how months of 14-hour workdays led to a physical and mental breakdown. In a post on LinkedIn, Meenal Goel, who has previously worked with global consulting firms KPMG and Deloitte, described the moment her body “gave up” after 6 straight months of intense work.
“I worked 14-hour days for 6 months straight, and last week my body just gave up! Tuesday morning. 6 AM. The alarm rang. I couldn’t get out of bed. Not because I was lazy. But because my body literally refused to move,” Goel wrote.
She said that for half a year, she followed a punishing schedule: waking at 6 am, working until 11 pm, treating weekends like regular workdays, and keeping her laptop on even during vacations. “I convinced myself: ‘This is what building a business takes,’” she said.
But the turning point came during a client call when she suddenly felt uneasy. “Heart racing. Couldn’t breathe. Had to hang up,” she recalled, adding that the episode forced her to rethink her priorities. “That’s when it hit me: I’m building a business but destroying myself. What’s the point of success if I’m too exhausted to enjoy it?”
Soon after this realisation, she introduced strict boundaries. “So I made a decision: No work after 8 PM. Not even ‘quick emails.’ Sundays are completely off. Phone on silent. One hobby that has nothing to do with work,” she said.
“It’s been almost one week. My productivity? Actually increased. My mental health? Finally healing,” Goel wrote, warning that while hustle culture celebrates burnout, “burnout doesn’t build empires. It destroys them.”
“You can’t pour from an empty cup. Rest isn’t lazy. It’s strategic,” she concluded.
How did social media react?
Goel’s post resonated with many professionals, prompting a discussion about workplace expectations and health.“Please rest! Burn out will cause health issues really! Energy optimization is more important than wealth or building business. May yr work reap it's rewards,” one user commented.
“We glorify overworking so much that we forget health is everything,” commented another.
A professional agreed, writing, “Hustle doesn’t mean you can’t relax. Even machines need downtime. We are still human.”
“Burnout doesn’t mean you failed. It means you tried too long without recovery. Rest isn’t a reward — it’s part of the work,” wrote one user.
“A sobering reminder—endurance, not exhaustion, is the true architecture of lasting success,” commented another.
