Depends, how much I do at home. I go to work at 6.30am and get home about 6.20pm if I do any work at home it could be about 14 hours. I know freelancers that do 16-17 hours a day.

No rest for the wicked. lol

For the past 3 months I'd been pulling 20 hr days literally. Sleeping 3 to 4 hrs. I was feeling great, but at the end of it I crashed really hard. Slept for a decade I swear. Also noticed I'd lost about 10 lbs.

I still would rather be over booked than under though :)

Wow, those are brutal hours!
and you're right - its better to be busy than quiet.

I made the mistake last year of not prepping for new business while I was pulling the 12-14 hr days. When the project was finished, I had to scramble to get more work in. Then I had to wait to get paid! 30, 40, 50 days.

I'm off to play soccer. Good to get away from the monitor and get the heart rate up!
Cheers
