If a person can work 3x normal (40 x 3 = 120 hours, which is almost the 130 hours she claims to have worked in the past) and generate 10-1000x the value of most people, it might be a worthy tradeoff for some time.

In the long run, however, it can be hard to sustain that kind of pace.



There is evidence that for a wide range of jobs working 3x normal produces .5x to 1.5x as much output.


That I find more believable ...
