I don't think I've ever "worked hard" in the sense people seem to use the term. Occasional bursts aside, I don't think I've ever consistently topped even 25h/week.

When I was writing my book, I had to consistently put in at least 70 hours a week for two years. 35 hours at work and the rest reading/writing. Can't do that sort of thing any longer even if I want or have to.

I found it more helpful to measure my hardwork using units of energy over time, so I tell people I work 40kwh/week.

Do not be among the "fastest bucket bringers".. lest you be left behind:

Equilibrium is when the system pauses to drink from an oasis.
Its components run down and bring back buckets of water.
The fastest bucket bringers are rewarded.
The water runs low..
The system jumps up and clambers its way to the next oasis.
Leaving its best helpers behind.
