Convince me to not take the second job

I currently work four days a week and I have agreed to work for another employer for two days a week which would mean I work 6 days a week. At the time when I made that decision I was obsessed with making money (a month ago) despite knowing that I am at a point of burn out and don't know how long I can progress with this current lifestyle for.

I currently work four days a week and I have agreed to work for another employer for two days a week which would mean I work 6 days a week. At the time when I made that decision I was obsessed with making money (a month ago) despite knowing that I am at a point of burn out and don't know how long I can progress with this current lifestyle for.

Although I have not got my contract yet I do work ad hoc for the new employer and they have paid me handsomely for this work.

However, I am at a point where i think i need to cancel this plan of going ahead with the second employment. I feel quite bad that i have already begun on a project and before I even have a formal contract i will be leaving. i feel like i will be burning a bridge and i dont want to do that. That employer is quite nice.

on top of that I am afraid to make this decision as I am not sure what i will fill my 3 day weekend with, as for the past four years i have always found more work to do.

I am very irresponsible financially, so the extra money I would earn from the extra employment would likely get wasted and I dont think I would miss it too much.
