Whoa. Someone who needs 8 hours of sleep a day has 16 hours left. Considering that just the basics of eating 3-4 somewhat healthy meals a day and some hygiene can easily eat up 1-2 hours a day, your daily average of 14.3 hours is almost unbeatable. I take it you don't allow for that much sleep to be able to sustain your 100 hours. Envy! :)



Hey Phil -- I minimize stuff like shopping and eating -- I basically know exactly what I want from the store and live on simple, healthy stuff like sandwiches and müsli. I maybe spend 15 minutes a day messing with food. I sleep about 6 hours a night. So that still leaves like 24 hours a week for meeting up with my friends, etc. It's really not that grueling.

Tonight however is an exception to the cooking rule. Tonight I will be cooking Tex-Mex (fajitas, I think) for about 5-8 people from the local startup scene. You're welcome to drop by if you're in Berlin at the moment. :-)
