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'm sure as hell not going to manage 120 hours but this week is kinda supposed to be an intense crunch week for me. I'm mostly failing to do that so far. I wonder if I could just really lean into it.

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.
