Really. Somehow I keep pushing myself. I had promised to start as soon as I got home. Then it became, dinner and 3 animes. Ok so far, that made it 9:30. Then taking a shower it became somehow 11. Looking around and being bored made it 12:00. I am no good at this.
What else? The flat is full of boots and I ordered 2 more. I have to choose one. And it is so complicated. Luxury is so complicated that it pushes us to a whole vacant life.

Somehow 'you pushing yourself' sounds like Japanese working life. Spend every single waking hour of the day at the office and work or at least pretend that you are working.
I have always wondered if it is not better to work efficiently and very hard for 8 hours and then enjoy without any sense of guilt.
It seems better, but I am not sure. As a student I worked very hard, long and efficient (but thoroughly enjoyed my three months of holiday without guilt.) As a PhD student I have taken only 5 days of real holiday the past year and a half, but I don't work very efficient (I do not work long and hard either).
good point. however, i work during those 8+ hours that I am at work. THen there are meetings of course and stuff like that. It is not just sitting there.
I do find it hard to be focused for a whole 8 hours honestly. Thats why I stay 10 let us say *although i am sure I am not wasting 2 hours* and I am not doing anything else at work. I am working. So... I am slow, what can I do but accept.
Staying focused for 8 hours is almost impossible for normal mortals (as I reckon I am). But going back to the student days I studied consequently for 45 minutes and took 15 minutes breaks (this is the hardest to control :)). But that is for studying. For writing my PhD I can stay focused for longer stretches.
