the past few days, am doing an interesting experiment... am trying to see how it feels to work 8 hours a day!!! my workload is quite heavy these days and it would certainly be useful if i melt the backlog efficiently... (i have always thought that the reason software folks are so overworked, is because of their fundamental assumption that every one will work 8 hrs a day every day!)
but it is quite tiring.. just work, continuously, without taking any fun breaks, is very sapping..even though there is a feeling of having achieved what one sets out to do.. i need to try doing it smilingly and see whether it saps.. or maybe i have never worked hard continuously in my life :) and this sudden change finds my mind muscles very inadequate!!!
was wondering why it is tiring...one reason could be that in the quest of perfection in workload leveling, i hvn't done anything at all in that area... and the stress is coming because of thinking of the backlog,certainly! let me do it imperfectly and tune it along....

My view is perfection is an illusion anyway. However, you need to enjoy work. A suggestion, whenever you feel tired in between take a break - and just post something on your blog!
