Too much of anything is bad. As humans, we need a balance to keep us doing well. Anything overdone can lead to burnout.
Try to strike a balance with all you do. I love Chimichangas. Yet, If I ate chimichangas every day for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, how long do you think I would want to stay on working that diet? It would not be balanced. I would have deficiencies that could lead to medical problems. I need to balance my diet with a variety of healthy foods.
Work is that way. If you work 12-16 hours a day (I have at times in the past.) You start to find that even the most minor things wear on you. You get frustrated and blow your top over the smallest of concerns. You end up grumpy, irritable, and alone because no one wants to be around when you erupt.
If you take all your time to live and find yourself at home with the family more often, you may have some of the same problems as the earlier paragraphs. The exact causes are at play. Rather than having a good work-life balance, you are ending up on one side or the other and never having balance.
Work to enjoy whatever you do. And whatever you do, keep in balance with everything else you do.
