I do sometimes (often) wonder if my life would be better and I just embraced this attitude in a sort of one week on / two weeks off way: https://blog.nickwinter.net/posts/the-120-hour-workweek-epic-coding-time-lapse … I have the flexibility to do it and tend to have long lapses where I totally fail at productivity anyway.

I think part of the problem is that I like my work but it's not really something that I want to dedicate my life to, and it sure as hell doesn't pay me enough that I'd be doing it without intrinsic motivation, so I end up just dragging my feet on it out of vague resentment.

But is it worth a third of my life if that lets me just really spend the other 2/3rds how I want? Y'know, it might be.

Have you done such a stint before? I've had this kind of intensity for maybe 4 or 5 days before, and it definitely feels waaaay more productive, but you have to forgo any other focus. Actually on the verge of deciding to do this over the next 24 hours :D

Often the last week before a paper deadline is like this for me. Done one or two other death march projects Have had a few crazy multiday obsession projects as well where I did it just for fun. It's not something I've ever tried to make a regular feature though.
