Feeling like you can never do enough

I discovered the comic book below in my instagram this morning. I'm clearly the character on the left. I'll give you a telling example that just happened as I write these lines.
It's Sunday, I just had a 3 hour nap because my body is sending me a signal. I wake up at 4:30 p.m. for a family tea break. My mother bought "chouquettes" and peanut butter.
So far, so good, you'll be okay with that, right?
Here's what's going through my head:
"Okay, Maxime, so it's almost 5:00. You're really not going to be able to do everything you wanted to do. 3-hour nap, seriously? What's wrong with you? You wake up tired from your nap again and you eat up all those calories. Are you forgetting your goal? Are you giving up?
And I remind you we were supposed to work on Timeleft this afternoon, remember? We were also supposed to read 10% of our book, so that's off the table? Didn't you also want to see your friend tonight? So what do we do now, huh? We got five hours before we go to sleep, you think that's enough time?”
So no, it's not so much fun being me.
On the one hand, I'm so happy, so lucky to be able to accomplish so much, to conquer my dreams, to inspire others, to know where I'm going. On the other hand, I live with such a violent and demanding character inside my head, who is never satiated, who always wants more.
Always more.

ONE ARTICLE TO READ
Kanye West seemingly announced that he intends to run for president of the United States in the upcoming 2020 election, tweeting on the Fourth of July, “We must now realize the promise of America by trusting God, unifying our vision and building our future. I am running for president of the United States.”
Elon Musk, noted color-coordinating friend of West’s, tweeted in response, “You have my full support!” It is entirely unclear if West is joking or not, but his past statements regarding a possible presidential bid indicate that he might be partially serious.
