Instead of burning out like he did, he could have taken the weekends off. That's going from a 7 day week to a 5 day week. That might still be a lot of work, but he used to publish 20 chapters a year, and the work schedule I mentioned would have easily allowed him to produce 12 chapters a year, while still taking the weekends off, and being able to socialize and just relax. That would have produced far more chapters than what he did over the past 15 years.
What he did instead, at least based on what I've read, is that he was always in work mode, and basically procrastinated, never letting himself truly take a day off.
