@brembs @neuralreckoning @steveroyle Our best work is done when we are at peace with ourselves and our personal and family needs are well attended to. Recall how many hours Darwin actually worked daily... it's not about the the amount of hours but about how deep we can go in them. Quality over quantity. Plus, as scientists, we always have thoughts ongoing in the back of our heads related to our work. Downtime is important to let these background processes complete and consolidate.
