Double binds are a surefire path to burnout. A good way to get there is to make more promises than you can possibly keep, and then make a non-verbal, undiscussable promise to yourself that you must keep all or your promises. A typical situation where I've seen this play out is starting your own company, getting caught between responsibility to your employees, your family, your customers.

Anyone considering a startup should be aware of this (and given the overlap between LW and HN I'm guessing this is some appreciable fraction of LW, though I'm too tired right now to quantify that). Don't put that plan into motion until you've got a good sense of whether that's a vulnerability for you.
