40 hours of solid, uninterrupted work is worth 80 hours of procrastination/interruption-filled work. You have to choose those hours carefully. I remember when I worked in an office, we would always go out to lunch at 12:00 and the resulting 3 hours would be destroyed for me by a food comma and the disorientation from leaving my desk for an hour.
- tonyedgecombe 11y agoThat probably says more about what you ate for lunch than the time.

- vanderZwan 11y agoHaving a food coma for three hours is a flag for your meal being "unusual".
- walshemj 11y agoOr undiagnosed medical conditions - I am very careful not to eat to much at lunch for that reason.
- bitL 11y ago20 hours of 100% focus a week >>> 80 hours
- luch 11y agoI happen to work at a place where I'm inclined not to do more than 40h/w, and working 50+h/w is simply not possible. The fact that you've so "little" time to code taught me and my colleagues to be brutally efficient and disciplined in the workplace.

- cimbal 11y agoRegarding the food coma, i had great success just by not mixing proteins with carbohydrates (and not thinking that fats in general should be avoided). It's basically as simple as that - just stop eating combinations that make you tired. This is especially true for fast metabolizers that get higher blood sugar faster from the same meals that a slow metabolizer has no problems with.
- DrScump 11y agoIt's carbohydrates and fats together that are the problematic pairing.
- cimbal 11y agoThanks for calling out my inaccurate comment. What i really wanted to say: don't eat a big pile of meat with a big pile of simple carbohydrates all the time. And eat the dessert/sweet stuff separately, presumably in the afternoon, but not too close to dinner. This will work wonders. And again, never view fats as something to avoid completely. If the fat is of good quality, it is a nutrient and an essential part of the diet. sorry for not providing any links, i can not find any good english source materials at the moment. PM me if you want to get some more info. keywords: food combinations, chronobiology, glucose reception
