I agree with you 100%. Carmack also says he ensures he gets enough sleep. As long as you get 7-8h a day and take care of yourself reasonably well with food and the occasional run you can work more than 40h/week focused and be very productive in those extra hours. What surprises me most about Carmack is that for him the “why am I working so much? for what? I want a life” moment never came but maybe that’s because he’s been his own boss for almost his whole life working on passion projects. He openly said for both Armadillo and Occulus/Facebook that he started doing less when the passion fades or the corporate BS became too much.

Does this work if you want to have a family and say one child and have a healthy life? I dont see the hours there: - say you sleep 8h - 1h = taking care of your body (shower, toilet, washing hands) for entire day - 2h eating and eating prep - 1h lost in random tasks (a curier delivery, feeling an emotion, ...) you then have 12 hours to handle work and family and sport :D how less time to put for family per day? 1 hour and the family survives as as family over say 5 years of doing that? please note that I did not added shopping, paying bills, ... talking with friends...
