Judging work by hours is like counting canvases used by a painter It’s not about quantity, it’s about quality. We all usually work 50-60 hours a week. In that time, I’m usually multitasking the whole time. Client meeting, doing analyses and sending items off for junior folks to work on. An hour here is probably someone in corporates day

I mean, I show up to my client site around 8. Typically I’m working until 6 or so then I leave to head back to the hotel. I’ve usually got 2 or so hours of additional work to do around dinner/working out. Sometimes it’s closer to 4 hours of additional work depending on what’s going on. Monday’s are usually really long. Tues, Wed a bit more reasonable. Thurs can also be a bit messy with flying. Fridays are often more relaxed with client work, but it’s also my day to catch up on everything else
