Another way of looking at it is that if you burn out, you will not be very helpful to any team. You will also drive away others who might consider being a mentor but don't want to make the level of sacrifice you are making. I have seen co-workers burn out, and have been on the brink myself. It is not pretty and recovery can take a very long time.
