Work days should be either 2 hrs long or 10 hrs long, nothing in between
Conversation
2 hrs is a decent urgency, 10 hrs is a real immersion, but 6 hours is like a standing self-interfering wave, distraction waves from past and future that combine to cancel out all productive ambition

hardy once said a mathematician can only do productive work for 4 hours a day and i wonder how broadly applicable that is to knowledge work
a lot happens when I'm not actively thinking/doing a thing. Sometime somehow things are processed.
Also just need time to daydream about things to figure them out, which isn't as clearly counted as "work time"
