Mate, you need to acquire a life. If you can't make do with absolutely maximum 7.5 hours of "work" a day you are entirely missing the point of living. You are not excelling, or even succeeding, you are failing. If you insist on being a slave, be sure to charge at max for the finite hours you are selling, three to four times your normal rate beyond 7.5. And here is something you think you knew but don't: Young time is more precious than old time. Each hour before 35 is worth 3 hours after 35. This because experiences are new, senses are heightened, live is intense. Take it from a retired high priest: Don't burn your life on this altar of bullshit.

Can you not have new, high intensity experiences past age 35? Is losing this an inherent part of aging? Or do many just choose to avoid new experiences after a certain point?

  I don't buy it. There is so much amazing shit in this universe, and it's so difficult to get a proper perspective on it all. I honestly expect to enjoy life more once I hit 35, as my understanding and perspective should be much deeper, and I'll have made further progress on understanding how to live a balanced and fulfilling life (at least, in a way that works for me). I will also likely have acquired more financial resources and additional connections with like minded folks, which should enable interesting projects and adventures. I'm basing this largely on how the past 5 years have gone, and the understanding I have developed during that time (from age 22 to 27). I also fully reserve the right to adjust this forecast 5 years from now :)

You can't make assumptions based on a post. For example, I make money off my own projects, I travel, I have some form of ADD, and I like to batch some of my work into 12 hour binges with the help of some medication like amphetamine. I love my life, I don't work every day, I don't binge every day. "Work" doesn't always mean you're burning yourself on someone's pyre. I hope you find something more fulfilling if the mere thought of 8+ hours of work must mean your are "missing the point of living".
