Having had sustained periods of 112 hour weeks I agree that the physical, mental and emotional toll is incredible. Having said that, I do belive that some people can work longer hours than others, particularly when they enjoy their jobs and are passionate about what they're doing.
I try to keep myself down to 50-60 hours a week. I'm not quite sure what I'd do if I limited myself to 35!
- electromagnetic 18y agoI personally don't believe there's anything wrong with working every waking minute if it's your only job at that time. If you don't have kids, and don't have a spouse or partner and at that period of time you're content with it then I say go for it. However, I wouldn't idolize someone who does do that. The true hero is someone who can work for 10 hours a week and get done what the man doing 100 hours a week does. Sadly an addendum to this, as a writer my output is directly correlative to the time put in. However there's a limit to how much I'll actually get done. Sometimes ignoring my writing seems to get more done. I've sat down and written for 6 hours in a row and only been snapped out because I was dying from hunger and I'd drank like 4 sodas and hadn't gone piss. I got more work done in those 6 hours than I normally do in 30 hours.
