Anyone ever done one? Or many? I'm thinking most who say they are clicking such hours are full of shit! What kind of quality work can be done past the tenth hour of a work day?
I did it for most of last year...6-7 day weeks, back to back shifts...flying/driving all over the country.
You're right productivity drops massively after a certain point, as does mental clarity...but you do still get more done overall, so is it worth it? The money was great, I basically doubled an already very healthy salary for someone like me, I proved myself as a PM and as a result I always have plenty of work offers now...
But...
Everything suffered, I became distant from my g/f, only ate once or twice a day, slept 4-5 hours a night, zero socializing or recreation and my health deteriorated.
Would I do it again...probably, I like the challenges my work throws at me....would I advise it....HELL NO!
