Literally every job I've had in the last 10 years I've self-structured into 4 hours of deep work, 4 hours of everything else(meetings, randomization, etc).
Started by getting into the office much earlier(7-8am) when normal office hours started around 10-11. It's worked very well for me and I've had no problem completing significant work at a good pace.
- chrisco255 8y agoOh so you work 8 hour days then? OP is arguing for 2-4 hour work days. So what then? Your particular work situation and career are not the majority of the jobs on the market.
- vvanders 8y agoI mean if you want to move the goalposts(we were just talking about deep focus work) or claim that my career isn't legit be my guest.
- chrisco255 8y agoI'm not moving the goalposts. OP literally said "In reality we all work too much. 8 hours a day is extreme, we should strive for 2-4 hours." Which is completely unworkable for most jobs. Won't work in retail, manufacturing, medical profession, legal, retail, etc. If you happen to have a lifestyle job where you can have a high discretion over how your time is spent, that's great...happy for you. But denying the realities of other professions just underscores the ignorance of this whole thread.
