How do I stop feeling guilty about not working non stop? Apart

Realize that your problems started in childhood, probably your parents demanded great or impossible tasks from you and you occasionally (or often) failed and then they would punish you. As an adult you keep re-enacting this cycle of exceedingly high standards and the eventual failure, and of course the self attack that comes with the failure. Thats just my guess though.

Wanting and expecting greatness is a... great... thing but not if it comes from a dysfunctional forces place like your current situation, I'd suggest talk therapy to solve your problem.

Are you me?

I've come to embrace it, to work as much as I can and to strive for greatness. I find more meaning in this work more than anything else.

Ask yourself whether you really want to work less or not. The guilt can be a nice tool to push yourself a bit. If you know your limits, you can reduce the guilt by remembering yourself that pushing yourself beyond your limits is counterproductive.

This anon is right. Get therapy. In a book called Reinventing Your Life by Jeffrey E. Young they have a chapter that seems to be about what you are describing OP.

17. UNRELENTING STANDARDS / HYPERCRITICALNESS (US)

The underlying belief that one must strive to meet very high internalized standards of behavior and performance, usually to avoid criticism. Typically results in feelings of pressure or difficulty slowing down; and in hypercriticalness toward oneself and others. Must involve significant impairment in: pleasure, relaxation, health, self-esteem, sense of accomplishment, or satisfying relationships.
Unrelenting standards typically present as: (a) perfectionism, inordinate attention to detail, or an underestimate of how good one's own performance is relative to the norm; (b) rigid rules and “shoulds” in many areas of life, including unrealistically high moral, ethical, cultural, or religious precepts; or (c) preoccupation with time and efficiency, so that more can be accomplished.

Good luck
