I have a friend who graduated from college double majoring in Physics and Economics... and now works maybe 15 hours a week at a grocery store and plays video games most of the time, and this is by choice. Strange conditioning, or living naturally?
Oh, and in case you think this is merely a phase, he's been doing this for over a year now.
- mattm 17y agoI think 15-20 hours of work a week is natural. That is the amount the Kung Bushmen have been known to work per week gathering food. The rest of the time is leisure. When at work, I use a timer to time the time spent in actual productive programming. I find that if I start to go over 20 hours of productive work a week, I start to become miserable and my body reacts by bringing on colds or allergies. Perhaps your friend chooses to work at a grocery store because he can't find a job in his field where he would have the opportunity to only work 15 hours.
- dangrover 17y agoI've found the exact same thing. 20 hours of real, actual, focused work seems about right. I average about that: http://files.dangrover.com/timechart081909.jpg http://files.dangrover.com/timechart081909.jpg A 25 real-hours-of-work week ends up being a pretty productive and intense one for me. I feel lazy with such a low number, but I bet most office workers do far less.
