When I was in college I did a startup. It petered our but my schedule was excellent: Friday’s were for girlfriend and social life; Saturday’s were nonstop startup work, and Sundays were for me. I was also taking an obscene amount of credit hours, but I made sure to only deal with that during the week.

The key wasn’t focusing on productivity, it’s balance. When you feel like you’re spending the right amount of time on the people you care about, the work you need to do, the work you want to do, and most importantly, yourself, the productivity will happen. Otherwise, your body is trying to tell you that something is off balance.
