I liked this article, but i don’t agree with this part: “When you do meaningful, self-directed work, 16 hrs/7x a week feels like part-time.”
You may very well feel that way, like you want to keep working. But as he then later says, there is no time for other things.
I would rephrase as “ When you do meaningful, self-directed work, 8 hrs/5x a week feels worth it.”
Any work you do is going to have shit, so it’s never going to be a rainbows and sunshine all the time. Customers abandon you, vendors fall short, employees steal, boss fires you, etc.
But you get to generally choose the shit flavor, so if you choose shit that is tolerable vs intolerable, and if you work on something meaningful, it just might be worth it.
Then, close your laptop and give attention to the other meaningful things in your life. The ride will be over before you know it.
