There is the related story of "Amundsen vs Scott" race to the South Pole.

Amundsen had studied human behavior and efficiency under stress. He knew a constant pace every day was way more efficient than doing epic effort. So he will restraint his people and not let them do more than a given distance each day, I think it was 30 miles or so.

This gave his team an edge against constant epic efforts on Scott part.

A week off is probably too long. What I do, because I can, is taking days off just when I consider I need it. This day or days off is a day you enjoy life and after them you feel plentiful and strong.

Much better than wasting the day being forced to work and generating very little work and burning yourself off.

I actually measure the actual time I do meaningful work so I know exactly how better it works.

Exactly! There's always going to be that one guy trying to prove he's a 10x that'll trek out all on his own into the wilderness in the middle of the night and then a bunch of others who will follow because that's she start-up way
