This may be weird to you to think a designer or just in general someone can overwork. What I mean is when you keep pushing yourself to where you are constantly exhausted. Over these past couple of weeks I learned what being overworked means. Because since I started waking up early my days are longer. Then working at my day Job has been a good thing to keep money coming in.
If you are getting plenty of sleep and never really exhausted. Then you are not overworking. Because people who overwork they always get up whether they feel like it and do the work. They give 110% and not settling for anything less than the best.
But you have to remember to give your body the respect it deserves. Because if you do not respect your body then what do you expect to get in return. If you are taking care of your body and etc you will work better and produce better results. Also do not get confused with taking care of your body with being lazy.
