Can we talk about hitting 500 client hours in a month

I just hit 500 client hours last month and I'm still trying to process it. That's 100 more than my usual goal of 400, and my hands are feeling it hard. Has anyone else dealt with burnout after a big milestone like this?

500 client hours is a huge number, but I honestly wonder if the real problem isn't the milestone itself but how we talk about them. Reaching a big goal doesn't always mean it was good for us, you know? I've seen people chase numbers like that and end up resenting the work that got them there (and I've definitely been guilty of it myself). Maybe it's worth asking if that 500 hour month was sustainable or if it just looked good on paper. The burnout might be your body telling you that goal wasn't actually the right one to hit.

Nah hard disagree sometimes pushing through is the only way to level up.

Hard disagree sometimes the grind is the only way to actually level up.
