About 12. I've optimized my life to a point where I have no outside disturbances beyond my work. I have 3 days left of my day job, then I'm taking my own business full time.
I've been working 7am - 3pm at my day job, 4pm - 11pm at my side projects. Dropping the day job.
- sktank 12y agoOptimized your work life maybe, your life though... I'm not so sure.
- chaired 12y agoHey, it's all relative. I have no personal life or relationships to speak of, and no projects. Sounds to me like he's doing ok.
- EC1 12y agoI have a few friends and we go out for beers once in awhile to talk, that's the extent of my "social life". Everything else is work.
- michaelochurch 12y agoHe's getting out of the corporate world. A few years of double duty can be worth it. It's not a way to live forever, but for people who can work like that, for a few years it can suit them really well. The con of the startup racket is that so many people think they're buying their freedom with the 16+ hour days (and have been misled into believing that) when, in fact, the proportion who actually become billionaires or major venture capitalists is pretty terrible.
- balls187 12y agoAwesome. Good luck, and I hope it works out for you. I'm productive about 8hours in the day, but I put in 10-12 daily. Overtime I'll start feeling like my managerial duties are productive uses of time. They are, but as a hardcore technologist, it's tough to shake the if !programming then wasting time.

- EC1 12y agoJust consulting and doing some project management stuff on the side, decided to do it full time because its fun.
