If your time is spent in higher productivity work, wouldn't that - irrespective of age - leave you feeling more exhausted?

- 0x20cowboy 2y agoI am old and I can easily code / design all day. 10-16 hours if it’s something I am in to. It’s dealing with people / social issues that exhaust me.
- steve_adams_86 2y agoLikewise. I can easily work for 10 or 12 hours. It's fitting in things like friends and family, according to their schedules, that makes it difficult. I don't mean to say this in a resentful way at all; it's definitely a me problem, not them.
- j_bum 2y agoI’m not sure it makes sense to differentiate between energy spend while being “productive”, and energy spent whole trouble shooting and problem solving. After all, trouble shooting can be viewed as a productive thing. Interesting idea though.
- itishappy 2y agoProductivity doesn't correlate super closely with fatigue in my experience. The worse sessions are when I'm banging my head against something and getting nowhere. When I'm flowing, I can go for hours.
- lo_zamoyski 2y agoSomeone who is more efficient expends less energy to accomplish the same thing relative to someone who is less efficient.
- jimbokun 2y agoA lot of it depends on how good your tools are.
