Always On and It’s Killing You

Hey Unfiltered

Always On, Always Screwed

You’re glued to your phone, emails hitting you at 2 a.m., your brain fried like a bad circuit. Being always on isn’t a flex, it’s a cage. You’re not in charge, you’re performing for every ping. Your career’s stalled because you’re too busy reacting to think. Every yes you say piles on more pointless work. Your life’s a haze of screens and anxiety, and you’re letting it slide. Burnout’s not a shock, it’s your routine. You’re not running the game, you’re the one being played.

Paying With Your Soul
Your health’s tanking, your relationships are shadows, and your dreams are barely breathing. Always being on strips away everything that makes you you. You’re ditching sleep for meetings that don’t matter, trading family time for emails that can wait. Your body’s begging for a break, your mind’s toast, and you’re still running on empty. You’re not showing your value, you’re showing you’re disposable. Every hour you give up is a chunk of your life gone forever. Nobody’s going to reward you for burning out. Get real before you’re just a shell with a job title.

Break the Cycle or Break Yourself
You don’t need another app or productivity hack, you need to say no. Set boundaries like your life depends on it, because it does. Block off time to think, to breathe, to remember who you are. Tell your boss what’s urgent and what’s not, and mean it. Your inbox isn’t your master, it’s a tool. Stop checking it every five minutes like a trained dog. If you don’t own your time, someone else will. Start today, or keep paying the price until you’re empty.
