About

The Overwork Report is a publication for high performers who run hard and intend to keep running: founders, operators, and the people everyone else leans on. We write field reports on overwork, burnout and recovery. Not wellness content. Operating knowledge.

Who writes this

Articles are produced by the The Overwork Report Editorial Team: research-driven writing assisted by AI tools, edited and fact-checked by humans before publication. We do not publish personal bylines and we do not invent authors. Every factual claim links to a primary source, and our sourcing rules are public on the editorial standards page.

What we believe

Burnout is not a character flaw and recovery is not a beach holiday. Both are mechanisms. A man who understands the mechanism can run hard for decades. A man who ignores it pays with the exact things he was working for.
