Working less seems like reasonable advice all around.
To be honest I rarely have more than 3-4 productive hours in a day, where I actually get hard stuff done. Sure on special days I can be productive 8+ hours; but those are rare.

Highly job and person dependent I suspect.
J. Blow has much to say against this, but i've never really heard him engage with this integral of productivity given habituation. I guess his reply to my argument above would be, "sure, but are you actually working these hours? if no, it's just rationalisation for lazyness"
And i'd suppose, in most cases, it is.
Of course this is related to creative work, like coding, writing, design etc.
Less creative work like kitchen work, or manual labour in general I can do until my body gives up (16h shifts used to be no problem but I'm getting older...)
