Wow 40-60 hours at work then 40 on a project at home. I'm lucky to get an hour a week for hobbies.

Is this because of parenthood or something?
Yeah exactly, a wife and child. I'm happy with the deal. It's just an eye opener to see how much time people can dedicate to their craft.

Even when I was single I don't remember having that much time. Chores, making dinner, keeping in touch with friends and family would have left me with less than 40 hours if I'd worked 60 hours.

I'm impressed with their diligence.

I just don't do most of these things (chores, making dinner, keeping in touch with anyone... etc.).
