Dude.
Stop comparing yourself to your heroic peers. You know you're not lying about your rich 'hustle' life (or lack), but you don't know they aren't.
Do all the work but then get the downtime. Don't try to do too much too soon.
Decide for you in all things. If you're gonna do the time, you pick the crime, to borrow a phrase.
Don't lose heart. Incremental progress takes a long time. Pick a quick task to stay engaged, but realize sometimes that task is 'sleep properly'.
That's all I got.
