I can't speak for chrisjsmith, but I have a similar attitude to his. In my case, I regard my work as just one part of my life. Even if you work 8 hours a day, that's already half of your waking time[1] on just one activity. I love my work, and value the time I spend doing it, but it already dominates everything else, so I don't especially desire to increase the amount of it I do. [1]: In actuality, few people probably sleep 8 hours/night, and I didn't account for weekends, but I think my point is still roughly accurate.
