I question the notion of work week. In fact I seriously doubt the whole "work/life" separation -- it just feels like a false dichotomy. Sure there are tasks that are best done "at work" and other best done "at home". But I frequently sit in my office thinking about hobby projects, and think about work stuff when watching movies or tv. Further, I try to tie hobby stuff and work stuff together.

From a different angle: I spend more time with my office mate than I do with my girlfreind. I eat as many meals with the group admin assistant as I eat w/ her. It seems that writing this off as "just work" is dismissing a huge portion of my life.

I understand that I am lucky in that I love my work -- but still, instead of measuring things like work week, why not have articles and posts and what not devoted to "how to better integrate and avoid the redundancies".
