To a point. I'm not a workaholic by any means, I skew towards working 20 hours weeks. When everything is good, the time off allows me to be incredibly productive. Breakthroughs happen by themselves.
I am, however, prone to anxiety. When things start to become uncertain and I get anxious, I find it's much better for me to take the extra hours head-on and work however much is needed to dig myself out - 30,40, 50, or 60. Otherwise both work and rest become really low-quality as I can never truly procrastinate away from worry. Focused work is the only way through.
Which is one reason why I try to avoid work where there are many emergencies and sudden operational problems. It throws me off my game completely.
Edit: apologies for the typos, not used to posting from my phone :)
- vehementi 3y ago> sig myself out What is meant by this?
- verisimi 3y agoI think it's a typo. He's talking about how many cigs (ciggies, cigarettes) he needs to get joy back into his life - 30, 40, 50 or 60 :)
- cozzyd 3y agoNo, clearly means zig. Writing 30, 40, 50 or 60 zig programs to solve the problem.
- vehementi 3y ago??? that's not the zig they are referring to. They mean by firing 30, 40, 50, or 60 rockets in a relaxing match of Quake, they'll de-stress
- zemvpferreira 3y agoThis is the interpretation I'll choose. You win. Muh-muh-muh-muhltikill
- atherton33 3y agoLikely typo for "dig myself out"?
- theonething 3y agoI relate to this very much. If I've had an unproductive day, it really stresses me out and I can't relax until I make it for it later that night.
