May the Grind™ never end.
-
We don't use the word work-life balance. (that's cringe)
-
There's no weekends. (every second matters)
-
Burn-out is a psyop and a myth. (you're just weak)
-
Sleep is for the weak. (you can sleep when you're dead)
-
Personal relationships are a distraction. (you don't need friends)
-
$100k is not enough. (you're poor)
-
Don't think about life, just Grind™ . (you're a machine)
-
Feelings are evil, suppress them. (you're a robot)
-
Attending conferences is good, but don't network. (you're a lone wolf)
-
You only need a laptop. (you're a digital nomad)
-
Grind™ is the truth. (never stop)

Important note
The Grindlines™ are meant as satire, poking fun at the hustle culture that often glorifies unhealthy work habits. They're not intended to be taken seriously.
We believe in the value of dedication and hard work, but we also recognize the importance of balance, mental health, and community. This project encourages mindful grinding — committing to your goals with awareness of the risks, such as burnout, isolation, and tunnel vision.
Take care of yourself, connect with others, and remember that you're more than your Grind™. 💪
