    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.

        "Hard work" is a gibberish term used to kick the poor.

        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.

        👍 - also most people - I was one of them - vastly, vastly, over-estimate how much they truly work in the traditional sense; one of the my own major findings from the 7.5 min life blocks tracking

        Do not be among the "fastest bucket bringers".. lest you be left behind:https://twitter.com/mreliwjones/status/1178671550175809536 …

        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.

        Your number of hours may be mediocre, but each one of them is premium!

        5h/day of actual work is probably the max for most office workers.
