I love all this talk about hours worked as if it's not a proxy for achievement - of course it is.

Will weak workers achieve great things in 6 hours or 16 hours? No.

Will over-achievers do brilliant things in 6 hours instead of 16 - depends on your definition.

Hours worked, working smart and all this BS doesn't matter. What matters is the size and complexity of the problem your working on, and how many problems you have to solve to move the needle on your goals.

So if you can do a great 30 hour week a move the needle - lucky you! Some people have to pour in 80-100 hour weeks just move the needle because what they are working on just cant be done 'smarter'.

I think the discussion needs to move from hours worked and quality of hours worked, back to quality of people : and hopefully the right people will work the right amount of time to productively deliver whats needed.
