14-16 hour week days. Weekend full of stuff absolutely not related to work. I found this applies more the older you get I think. Personally, get stuff done during the week, come the weekend, it's the beach, dinner / bars, remodeling, bike ride, etc... The harder I work during the week, the more I do on the weekend that absolutely doesn't involve programming. Keep in mind, if stuff needs to get done, it needs to get done - happened to me just this last Friday - went to dinner with the wife and parents - got a phone call from my partner about an event we were having saturday and a change needed to be made on the website. So I finished dinner, ran home (20 minute drive) made the change, then went back out to meet friends. Normally, I would have brought my laptop to dinner and left it in the car for this specific reason but I guess I thought I could get away for an hour or 2. Nope! Anyways - I've heard "work hard play hard" intermixed with the term "weekend warrior" - someone that spends the week in an office and on the weekend, just disappears a bender. Everyone has their idea of fun.
