Does anyone else feel like the work day should be 6 hours, not 8? I think that would be perfect.

I often struggle to keep up my energy/focus for that long. Even when I'm productive in those other 2 hours, I'm generally not happy about it.

Down right mad some days.

For me a perfect day is two 3-hour blocks, and sometimes that's even better as four 1.5 hour blocks. I find that's the pattern of my best days. I got in a good flow for 1 block, took a good break, good flow for a 2nd block. done.

This is also why I struggle with my side hustles. I can only do them in spurts. I just can't stand to be "working" at my laptop after work anymore. I can dedicate myself to doing it for, say a month, and crank a course out, but it takes me 4-8 months to recover. Ugh.

This is also why I try and do something _before_ work. I won't have anything left in the tank after work. But it's basically impossible to record videos before work, and hence why i've written more blog posts this year, even though they have a lower ROI.
