What's your breaking point when working consecutive days?

[pocketrockets]

I work an average of 10 hrs a day 6 days a week + 2 hrs in the gym 4 days a week... been suffering from an energy collapse before my day off. I drink coffee and nada, effect wears off in 20mins. Id didnt help I went out last night... energy is a bitch when you are in your almost 30's.

When you work for yourself, 10 hour days are short days.
You just keep plugging away and wait to see how it feels in 20 years.

+1 the old guy nails it

I basically work every day

 

[Cantpickem]

I worked 355 days at 12hr shifts. The only time I had off was the R&R to Hong Kong.
I've also worked 3 mid shifts (12-8am), come back the afternoon of the 3rd day and start 3 swing shifts (4pm to midnight), followed by the very next morning 3 day shifts (8am to 4pm). Did this for 60 straight days no time off.

tax season I work about 90 consecutive days, I collapse on April 16th (although I work around UConn hoops)

I play a lot the rest of the year, work less then many overall, except when I really have to (like now until 10/15, especially this year)

 

[CoachCB]

I work 12 consecutive days at one point every month (I usually have to work the 2nd or 3rd weekend of each month). I generally will take one of those days and just come home, eat dinner, do a couple of things around the house and go to sleep about 2-3 hours earlier than usual...I'd do this around the 8th day. I run around 2000+ miles per year, so that's time consuming. I'll take at least that 1 day off from running.

Other than that, life is too short to work yourself to death. Dudes that wear their work on their sleeve as a badge of honor...are basically dumbass's. Go enjoy life.....

agree Coach, I work to live and not live to work

That's funny coming from you... Like I've Always said... When I Die , I'm coming back as YOU

 

[Betallsports]

and BTW ... I work almost Every Day .... even when I'm not on schedule, I'm still doing something.

and it ain't like a Real paying Job either !!

I too work for myself and launched two companies in the same market place in a 6 month period... Hit a 28 day 5 city swing for conventions and meetings with dealers. NY, Boston, Philly, Phoenix, and Anaheim.... I am from Mississippi and I have never been so glad to see the oak trees on my property in my life.. The day after I got back I turned my phone off and didn't check my email.

As an owner you work everyday and its different for everyone... I am lucky to have a good partner and people.... As for myself I unplug and refresh about 4-6 days a month and it helps my productivity a ton.... I'm not married so I'm in by 630 and get home from 6-8 at night. When we first started 15-18 hour days were the norm
