AskFreelancers: How many hours do you work? 2 points by mantas 13y ago ↗ HN Freelancer programmers/designers/engineers, how many hours a day do you truly work?<p>By "truly work" I mean pure work without messing around. Not excluding short up to 5 minute breaks.
[–] mantas 13y ago ↗ I myself can do ~ 5-6 hours of quality work a day. I can do 8-ish hours once in a while, but I feel mentally tired the next day.If I try to work more hours, I end up writing shitty code or no code at all.I've no problems to work 6 days in a row or even skip weekend altogether though.
[–] mattbgates 13y ago ↗ I work 2 full time jobs at 80 hours a week and I'm also a freelancer working an extra 10-20 hours. I also work while I work. So I'm always busy.
