i think there’s a lot of variance. i personally can only work in unpredictable short intense bursts, during which i get my best work done; then i have to go and chill for a while. if i were 1 year away from the singularity i’d try to push myself past my normal limits and push chilling to a minimum, but doing so now seems like a bad idea. i’m currently trying to fix this more durably in the long run but this is highly nontrival
Oh that makes sense, thanks. That seems more like a thing for people who’s work comes from internal inspiration / is more artistic, and also for people who have personal or psychological frictions that cause them to burn out a lot when they do this sort of burst-y work.
I think a lot of my work is heavily pulled out of me be the rest of the world setting deadlines (e.g. users making demands, people arriving for an event, etc), and I can cause those sorts of projects to pull lots of work out of me more regularly. I also think I don’t take that much damage from doing it.
