Realized I was burning out because I was trying to work in 10 different time zones at once

For two years I kept wondering why I felt exhausted all the time while 'living the dream' traveling. I was hopping between clients in NYC, London, and Sydney, never saying no to a late night call. Last month in Chiang Mai I literally fell asleep mid-sentence during a video chat with a UK client at 3 AM my time. My buddy looked at my schedule and said 'dude you're basically working 20 hour days every day because you keep moving.' That hit me. I finally picked two time zones max and told everyone else my hours are fixed. Has anyone else had to learn the hard way that being available everywhere means you're never actually available anywhere?
