How does hard working, overachieving person's day looks like

I apologize that I have not read the linked article.<p>I am dismayed by the hero worship that is so common these days - &quot;here&#x27;s how to be an overachiever&quot;, &quot;Uber&#x27;s valuation exponentiates&quot;, &quot;Children graduate high school without ever meeting their parents&quot;.<p>It is exceedingly uncommon for only one parent to have a job anymore. Nowadays, if there are two parents in a family, they both work, not to get rich, but in their struggle just to get by.<p>When I was a kid, unless he was aboard ship or - for a year - stationed in Saigon, my father was always home for supper.<p>Me, I work seven days a week, quite commonly go for days without sleeping so I can work.<p>What have we become?

You, too, can be an overachiever, so long as you have someone to run personal errands and do your chores, you&#x27;re rich enough to have quick &quot;outs&quot; for personal emergencies, and you also fall into the small subset of people who function perfectly with 4 hours of sleep, and etc. God help you if you have kids.
