Very true. I spend over 100 hours a week on the computer, and occasionally speak to webmasters who consider that a slow week.

|shocking|Yikes! When do you find time to live, or time to spend all the money you must be making?

That was the reason I sold my last (non-internet) business: my income was increasing, but at the same time my lifestyle was seriously eroding! At the end I had hardly any friends left because I was known as "the guy who's always working and never has time for us"...

I'm off to the coffee shop now: meeting friends for Sunday brunch - there has to be some time for that!!

"When do you find time to live" by cutting down on the time I sleep. I try to get no more than 5 hours a night, and not go to bed every night (as the man said "I'll sleep when I'm dead"). Also I work while I eat, so I don't have to allow time for food.

But actually 100 hours a week is cutting down. A few years ago I used to have a "real" job as well. I'd get up about 6, do a couple of hours work on the computer. Leave for the day job about 8.20, get home about 6 ish with a take away, and most evenings work on the computer till about 1AM, then 5 hours sleep and repeat.

And the worst was when I was manager of a video store in an extremely rough area, and we could not keep staff due to violence against them, so often had to run the shop alone. At times I was working 13 hour days, 7 days a week at the shop (with no breaks), and still coming home (about 11.30pm) and putting a few hours in on the computer.

But I was a lazy kid, so I guess I am just putting in the time now that I did not put in as a kid, it all evens out.
