Re: your last paragraph

I would say there's a mid-point somewhere between overworked 60-hour-a-week employees burning out and folks doing absolutely nothing productive. The nature and environment of work is important too, if you're tilling a farm there's an upper limit on your output, but with the internet anyone can be made to feel inadequate for not "hustling"/"grinding" enough.




Russell's proposed mid-point is 20 (or maybe 24?) hours of work in a week. That seems sensible to me!
