Assume there's always a better, faster solution to the problem than the one you've come up with. Finding it will require deeply understanding the problem, and sometimes redefining the problem. Put another way, working long hours is a bad habit because you end up solving problems the brute force way instead of figuring out how to come up with better solutions. I think of this aiming towards becoming a 0.1× programmer: achieving same or better results with 1/10th the lines of code and effort.
