I love the job a lot, but I can't get myself to work more than about 4-6 hours a day. I mentally burn out and get so exhausted I need to lie on the couch to recover.
If I can dive into some coding one week and whip the garden and landscaping into shape the next and work on a book the next et c, I thrive working longer hours than that.
It’s when I’m doing the same. Damn. Shit. Day after day, week after week, month after month, that I feel drained to exhaustion after doing just a few hours of it.
