tend to avoid taking on so much work that they crash and burn, but also tend to avoid working a reasonable amount.

How many times have you started your workday with a schedule and by 10 a.m. you were already completely off track or behind? Or how many times have you written a “to do” list in the morning but then found that by 5 p.m. the list was even longer?

Many people wildly overestimate what is possible/reasonable to complete in a single day. We over-cram our schedules and set ourselves up for disappointment. Remember that you’re planning one day of your life, not one month.
