Essentially the only answer is that your PP work is done outside your standard work shift; meaning that almost all of those folks are working >40 hours/week. I imagine the majority fit their PP work on nights and/or weekends (and those hours can often work better for patients anyway), although if you have a 4-10's schedule, then you can just devote that fifth day (and then some) to the PP.

Working two jobs has a tendency to do that.

Burnout depends on personal circumstances. I used to work 60 hrs/wk as a young single person. As a middle aged parent, not so much.

Not necessarily, but it's one factor that could contribute. Not really sure what other answer/solution there is than working more hours.
