Absolutely. We started out in very similar fashion, working on our product on the side and only quitting our day jobs when we absolutely had to to progress further. For the first two months we regularly put in at least 12 hours a day seven days a week. We progressed, but towards the end of it we were barely recognizable. The amount of stress it put on us, our family, and our friends was immense. I'd drag myself to a bar to see friends and I'd spend most of the time zoning out, thinking about what I needed to work on as soon as I was back at home. We've since forced ourselves to adopt a more structured approach, and factored in time to go fishing, play snooker, sing karaoke, or just relax. We're still working like crazy, but with a little bit of balance it no longer feels like the drudgery it had become before.
