  1. I had to work on a prototype for a decentralized app, 4 or 5 years ago or so, nobody forced my too, but I put excessive hours of work, without much rest, not sleeping well, eating like crap, not exercising, etc... this went for 3 weeks, and in the 4th week I broke down and left the project. It was not worth at all, could've taken my time and could've finished the prototype.
  2. I did not on the example above. How I do it now is by sleeping well, exercising and putting the appropriate amount of hours into the projects. Also remember that the job is part of your life, not your life.
  3. No, not at all. It's not worth it, the project and you will suffer from it.
