Also, how long can you go with only 4 hours of sleep on average every night? Asking for a friend. Modern studies show you lose a ton of efficiency and capability at you job after like a week of crunch hours. Like, congratulations on the dosh, but you'd almost certainly be better at your job if you had a decent night's sleep.

My quality of life significantly improved after I stopped working 70 hours per week. I’m stoked that I became debt free during that time, let stoked about the forty loving pounds I’m stuck working off though :/

It's something I've only come to really learn and take heed of in the last couple years, but it makes SO MUCH difference.

Incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet can make you better at life, and no one, no one, gets enough fiber. In my personal life, i feel like fermented foods keep me alive when I force myself to become a machine.

Quabzor is right - you need more employees, and/or you need employees who have the ability to make *some* decisions without you being there. Delegate more, force yourself to take more breaks, something. The real risk here isn't necessarily being less effective at your job (though if that isn't already an issue, it will be soon), the real risk is burnout. If you already have a plan to reduce your workload and are following through, good. If you haven't done that, start soon.

The real risk is putting your car into a bridge abutment when you pass out driving. I've worked those hours for a few months, and you don't realize the toll until you wake up in your driveway with the car on and no memory of how you got there from work.

I hope yall dont do this, my sister died in a car accident on dec 27 2013 because she fell asleep at the wheel driving home from Christmas, so i just feel the need to point out that driving tired is incredibly loving stupid and dangerous and being gung ho about it is exactly as stupid as being gung ho about driving drunk and for exactly the same reasons.

I had to give up mega-hours because I could just dissociate and work a line until it literally kills me before I burn out and quit. The ease of working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week for months on end scared the hell out of me.

One of our line guys is always complaining about how tired he is because he only got 3 hours of sleep the night before --- because he was up playing video games. Last Sunday and Monday I worked 7am to 11pm and 5am to 11:30pm. I have never not-jokingly cursed out a coworker to their face until Tuesday morning, when I had to hear that poo poo yet again. It was a simple "hey, guy? Go gently caress yourself", but coming from the mild-mannered woman in her 40s who rarely complains, it kinda took the kitchen by surprise. As GWS is my witness, if he comes in for Mother's Day brunch whining about how tired he is because he was up playing Minecraft until 4am and had to come in at 8 instead of 9.... Well, let's just say I'm drat curious as to what sort of damage I can do with a hot waffle iron to a man twice my size.

She was in a pickle, I needed some extra money, so I agreed to it. And now I have mad respect for people who pull those kinds of hours all the time (well, I always did, but when I started doing stupid things like putting the salt away in the reach in, I understand why the guys next door who always pull doubles like that are zombies).

actualfacts excerpt from Kitchen ConfidentialAnthony Bourdain posted:BURNING WITH A DESIRE for vengeance and vindication, I applied myself to gaining entry to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York. My Vassar friends-those who remained on speaking terms with me after two years of truly disgusting behavior on my part-thought I was out of my mind, but then they thought that anyway. I'm sure that there was a collective sigh of relief on Vassar's rolling, green, well-tended campus that I would no longer be around to cadge free drinks, steal drugs, make pointedly cruel remarks and generally lower the level of discourse. My idols of that time had been, all too predictably, Hunter Thompson, William Burroughs, Iggy Pop and Bruce Lee; I had had, for some time, a romantic if inaccurate view of myself as some kind of hyperviolent, junkie Byron. My last semester at Vassar, I'd taken to wearing nunchakus in a strap-on holster and carrying around a samurai sword-that should tell you all you need to know. The most romantic thing I had done in two years was to chop down about an acre of Vassar's lilacs one night with my sword, so that I could fill my girlfriend's room with the blossoms.
