So trying to extract 110% performance from today when it means having only 70% performance available tomorrow is a bad deal. You end up with just 77% of you

Uh, not quite: x(1.1) + x(0.7) != 0.77(2x). Reminds me of the fuzzy math in DHH's startup revenue calculations...
- Retric 19y agoI think it might be more accurate to say work per day = (x(1.1) + N * x(1.1 * .7))/(n+1) = x(1.1 + n * .77) / (n+1) So as your number of days approaches infinity average work / day approaches 77% of your old work per day. Or on your second day you only get 77% of your normal work day done.
