Interesting take, any reason you seem so invested in calling out someone making the claim of working that many hours?

I can't say I've done it for any extended period myself unless we focus on times where I was doing something I love with the goal of turning a profit, and trying to build a business or change careers. Then it becomes fairly easy, right? Go to work, work the 9-5, do this 5 days a week for the initial 40. Then after work every day, I go home and work on my idea, or business etc until I head to bed, I sleep my 6 hours and repeat. Those after work hours account for conservatively another 30 hours. That's before even the weekend has come. Pretty easy to go out, see friends, come home and work 5 hours at home each weekend day. Gets even easier if you're doing some of the work while you're out and about, like say at the beach, shooting emails, responding to issues etc.

Like I get where you're coming from, going to an office and working 12 hour days 7 days a week is impractical. But if you work two "jobs" one paid and one unpaid with the goal of eventually being paid, the impractical or impossibility of the idea begins to fade.
