Thinking of going Build in Public, smart move or just extra work?

So, I ve been toying with the idea of going "Build in Public" for my startup, but I m torn. On one hand, it seems like an awesome way to grow an audience, get early feedback, and build trust. On the other, I ve seen plenty of people burn out or struggle to balance actually building vs. constantly sharing updates.

I guess my main questions are:
What s the best way to approach it without it feeling like a second job?
Where do you actually build in public: Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, PH, or somewhere else?
Any success (or horror) stories from those who ve done it?
