In the course of say a quarter or two I work on average 5-7 hours a day. Some weeks there is more work to be done than others depending on the phase of the project at hand. I tend to not start too many things at the same time (start working on a bug, documentation, new feature etc), basically limiting the amount of WIP. Projects still get delivered on time or with slight delays that is not detrimental to the success of the project or the morale of the team, while still learning a ton. so going “the extra mile” anything beyond that is asking for trouble (stress that would eventually lead to burnouts). Im lucky that my direct manager and peers are more or less the same way too. The older i get the more interests i have in things outside of my profession so i try to make the time for it.
