You’ll burn yourself into the ground

A daughter was telling her Dad that she was so busy at work that she had to skip lunch and work extra hours. He advised her not to do that everyday or “you will burn yourself into the ground”. This is a congruent conflation of “burn (oneself) out” and “run (oneself) into the ground”, both meaning to make someone ineffective through overuse. “Burn to the ground” (to totally destroy something) might also be in the mental mix. A big thank you to John Kooser for sending this one in!
