If you continue down that road you'll find it leads to an ugly end. So make sure each day you are setting aside time to take care of your needs (physically, mentally, and emotionally). Although it may seem near impossible given the workload, you'll find that by doing so you can focus better and contribute more during the times you are focused on work. If this is extremely challenging try starting small but be consistent. As your performance improves you can increase the time/type/number of self-care activities. Remember, no one can take your time, only you can only give it away.
