Key phrase: in the flow.
If the people I work with would shut their traps when in the office I'd get everything I get done in an 8-hour day today done in 2-3 hours, tops. I find that the people who appear to love to work 100 hours a week are the ones doing most of the yapping.

Particularly in startups, being at work can be a mix of actual work and chatting, getting lunch, having a drink and a good time. It's difficult, because you do spend more time with these people than you do most others. Nowadays I work somewhere where we just go to a bar after work. Much simpler.

Particularly in startups, being at work can be a mix of actual work and chatting, getting lunch, having a drink and a good time. But they still count that all as work time, which is... silly, and brings lie to this idea that you can productively work 80+ hour weeks. Just hanging out with the gang at the office isn't work. I mean, if you count 'being around people who are employees of the company' as work, it is actually fairly rare that I don't work a 20+ hour day.
