It's like their are two extremes, be a hustler waking up at 3am to do barbell squats and work on your startup or be an idler wandering in the park waiting for some socratic revelations of wisdom.

Why can't we just be in the middle.

Use your common sense to choose where best to focus your limited time and energy, listen to yourself and not others.

Or adapt to what the current situation demands of us. Sometimes I do want to get up early, go for a run and work a 12 hour day.

Sometimes I want to stay in bed until 9am and mooch around not getting much done.

No two days have to be identical.

Or maybe the real answer is spaced repetition because that is how we learn. It would be interesting to try a work week that was say 3 10s on MWF and the other days off. Logistically it would suck but I'm curious about what our productivity would be.
Exactly, especially since every person is totally different. Just find what suits you best.
