It's kind of funny. When I'm working on my own stuff, I could easily dump like 60+ hours a week into it. But once there's an obligation to work on something, especially if it's scheduled, 40 is unbearable.
Yep, my experience exactly. It’s mostly because I can define my own hours when working for myself. But also - When I’m working for someone else there’s also a nagging feeling that I’m pissing away my life force if I go as much as a single hour over.
