I can empathize with others in this thread saying that his lifestyle is unhealthy (which is probably based on the anti-workaholic ideals a lot of us hold). However, he is just describing what worked for him to get to where he is and he seems to have accomplished a lot. Not only that, he describes how he is keeping himself healthy.

One reason for his success is that he multitasks well, whereas humans typically do not. This enables him to work the way he did/does.

The top post at the moment states that he will cause the "detriment of his quality of life." Actually, it seems he has improved his quality of life significantly (he left his corporate job, has more time to spend with his family, etc.). The top post OP also mentions not finishing the article so he may have missed all that.

Someone else stated that he is just boasting about "how awesome" he is. I did not get this vibe, but from my perspective, he is someone who has the confidence to speak about his subject. Which is completely fine. You should have a level of confidence when it comes to your craft and there's nothing wrong with that.

As stated in this article, this might not work for everyone. This is true, people work differently. Some people, oddly enough, don't need breaks. I do. And so on..

But this is self-reported and multitaskers are known to significantly overrate their own performance.

Yes, it is self-reported but the evidence is there to back it up.

Is it really? Maybe he would be producing much better work if he were to focus. We don't really have the information to judge.
