"If you don't make time, you'll never have time. The author seems to be falling into the all-too-common trap of equating long hours with productivity." Not necessarily. It probably depends on the market you are in. The author is a writer: maybe it is a bit harder for him than for a software consultant: maybe he has to work more to earn enough money. Also I have a freelancer friend who is very productive just somehow he is trapped into a market where there is not too much money. (He (and I) lives in Eastern Europe, and works for not too big/rich companies.)
