Not sure if anyone else relates...but I constantly carry this fear/anxiety that I don’t do enough or add enough value to my teams. For those reasons, I have a tendency to overwork myself at work.

Something to think about. Value does not equate to hours billed. Value is about the quality of your thoughts, and the clarity in which you communicate them. Getting enough sleep, feeling good through exercise and proper eating habits, and reducing stress will lead to a clear head. A clear head can lead to better thought process and communication.

No amount of overworking will produce greater value. The quality and clarity with which you produce the work are the value. So take care of yourself and develop great things for your clients. Value will result.

I have a hard time detaching from work as a result. I think this fear stems from a prior experience of having been fired where I was being paid and providing no value, hence the firing. To me, being fired isn’t the worst thing in this industry. The worst thing is to be paid to do work where I feel like I add little to no value to my teams.
