Not the only one. Work for yourself on short contracts with others.

I’m very suspicious of people who say they work more than 40 hours per week. I wonder about how many hours are high productivity and how many are wasted or low intensity. I definitely work no more than 50 and average around 40. I’ve met quite a few who do 60 hours and still meet real obligations.

Life is not a rehearsal and is definitely not a sprint. I challenge people who work 80 hours per week to demonstrate full community/family participation. It’s ok to do it for a short time but don’t kid yourself and think it’s a good idea for long periods.

Another item: 6 weeks vacation is a requirement.

Spoiler: I work for myself. I’m not unique. Plenty of other people are doing this.
