What is redlining? Wikipedia says it's a discriminatory practice of denying credit to minorities.
Edit: OK got it in the article, it's driving a car too fast.
Except your car is your brain and so it's burning yourself out I guess. A little confusing

As a “petrolhead” this instantly triggered me: most cars won’t redline at 100mph, actually they won’t even break a sweat (at like 2.5krpm, when redline starts at 5-8krpm depending on engine type and model). Redlining is _accelerating_ too fast, not _driving_ (this means you cannot “redline” indefinitely long, only for short bursts, even if you are a racing or overly aggressive driver).
Redlining: drive with (a car engine) at or above its rated maximum rpm.
In the manual-driving world, you can easily redline a car even below 100km, by just not switching to a higher gear in time (to get faster accelleration)
I also think of the movie "Redline": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FZ0AXNldV8
(But yes, depending on context, the word has the other meaning you note.)
