Seconded. Some of the most successful academics I know keep regular 9-5 hours and leave their work at the office, have spouses and children, etc. I've noticed a lot of them are fantastic at time-boxing and that some of my less successful colleagues aren't so much, and the freedom the academic schedule gives them ends up being more of a hindrance than a help.

Are those tenured professors that have their grad studends and post-docs do all the work for them ? :)
Haha, nope, lots of PhD students and junior profs that have their act together.
