I worked too hard trying to grow on Substack for a while. I would work on multiple articles at once while trying to balance the rest of my life. I eventually burned out. I then had to take a long break from writing because I had become overly anxious and depressed. Only when I began to work out again, go to bed at a regular time, and take breaks did I start to grow. Hustle culture made me have a mental breakdown. Anti-hustle culture helped me recover and start anew.
