I would love to hit the 18 hr/day mark, maybe 6 days a week, not 7. I'll be w/o a girlfriend in a few weeks, that'll help. I still have obligations I can't get rid of, so maybe 14 hours a day.
Anyway, + rep, especially for digging up this old posts here: http://www.wickedfire.com/enlighten...lightened-members-guidelines.html#post1874502

I've done 14-18, weekends included, for about 3 years now (not including rare moments where other obligations come up).
When you do what you love and love what you do, it's not work. It's fun and intriguing. Especially when Netflix is up on another monitor.

Lol at people that think they do productive work for 18 hours a day, yet still have time to post on WF.
Exactly.
Studies have repeatedly proven it, too.
If you spend time analysing what you do in the hour-to-hour, most people will find that in 18 hours they get 6-8 hours of productive work done, perhaps up to 10 on a very good day.

I use a simple timer while I'm working that I can pause when I'm fucking off on WF or elsewhere. Yeah, it's amazing what sitting in front of the computer for 12 hours translates to in terms of actual work. That's just me, of course, but it's a great tool to keep one honest.
No it's not just you. You've just taken steps to realize the true output of your 12 hours at the computer.
Two weeks, and no problem, glad you enjoyed it
Agreed, after the initial honeymoon period. That's why I say for the first year.
My dick. You can suck it.
Personally, I've found that since having a child, and thus LOSING the ability to work all hours (I'm lucky if I get 8 in, it's usually more like 5-6 per day), my output has gone up.
Thanks for the shout-out, good post

Maybe there is only 6 hours when you break it down, but I doubt it for me personally.
When your working 2-3 jobs, it didn't matter to me how "productive" I was, as long as I got a paycheck. When I had 2 jobs, most of the time it was 2 full time jobs, so 16 hour days working 5 days a week.
Granted, this was when I was young and didn't give a fuck and the jobs I did were not all that "exciting". Working retail for 8-9 hours and then working in a mailroom for another company for another 8-9 hours a day left me time to go home and go to bed and do it all over again and party the fuck out of the weekend.
When I had 3 jobs, it was the same setup, except I worked on the weekends part time 4-5 hours on Sat and Sun doing w/e. I tired to do this "webmaster" affiliate stuff in my spare weekend hours too.
How much of that time was productive? no clue. I got paid for 16 hours a day and I did part time shit on the weekend and also affiliate shit too. I got paid for every hour I worked which was the only thing important to me at this stage of my life.
When I hit some good money with affiliate, I would often work 18 hour days easily. Every hour I was pumping out more and more and more work and raising my revenue while doing it. Studies might show only 6 hours came out of those 18 hours, but my FB account showed me a different story.. a story where I was split testing and uploading new campaigns left and right with new domains and l landers and products too. Without all that 18 hour work of doing that, I doubt I could have gotten to the same point in life if I only did 6 hours a day.
Nice to see you paying it forward with this post. That's how it should be done.
I'm also a Nevmed fan.
