In my 20s I worked 80-90 hours for ... 4-6 months. It was day job, then side hustle software that I was very excited about. Now in my late 30s with kids, yeesh. Honestly it's impossible to get 40 hours in some weeks.

Edit: no drug use

Is it impossible even with effort or you no longer feel the effort is required and/or necessary?

Some months, with effort, domestic responsibility and my personal health make it impossible. But my whole family has been sick a lot this fall.

Edit: I still feel tremendous pressure to work more/longer.
