> With me - after 4-5 hours in the flow - I am done, squeezed like a lemon. That's what I'm currently trying to establish for myself - 4 to 5 hours of work a day tops.

And structure your life around those 4-5 hours so that within them, you are able to deliver. I recommend limiting work hours to everybody these days, but it seems that the mindset is simply too ingrained. > The only benefit after that is for task that require very out of the box thinking [...] when i am sleepy dead tired etc [...] Maybe those "you need to put in more than 10 hours a day" people should switch to 4 hours of work, plus a full-out boxing match plus 1 hour of "crazy stuff" work?
