I can work for 8+ hours (close to 14h), but there are a lot of caveats and the output is noticeably worse. Also, I can do it for a week or two, but after a while it takes a toll.
The number of times I spent hours on an issue in the evening only to find the solution after 30s in the morning is embarrassing.
So honestly, it's just common sense. As much as everybody fetishises long hours and 100h weeks, I don't think that's really achievable for most people.

- rocgf 6y ago> When tired, relax. Agreed, it's just that in the moment, it seems like finding a solution for whatever problem I'm facing is a function of time. "If I spent hours on it, how could a break help?" It's counterintuitive that breaks help, but it is supported by science.
