Do you do your best work under pressure?
Yes?
Does that make you a small biz hero? Or just a procrastinator?
The Lifehacker.com blog takes a look at how much work -- and sleep -- is enough:
Workers can maintain productivity more or less indefinitely at 40 hours per five-day workweek. When working longer hours, productivity begins to decline. Somewhere between four days and two months, the gains from additional hours of work are negated by the decline in hourly productivity. In extreme cases (within a day or two, as soon as workers stop getting at least 7-8 hours of sleep per night), the degradation can be abrupt.
Do you do eight hours of sleep, eight hours of work and eight hours of family time? Probably not -- but what *is* your ratio?
If I were honest with myself, for me it would be:
Sleep: 6
Work: 12
Family: 4
Avoiding Work: 2-6 -- depends on the day ; >
How about you?
