I&#x27;ve been convinced for a long time that many people exaggerate how busy they are and how many hours they work. Very few people work 90 hour weeks, and of those who do it&#x27;s often unproductive workaholic wheel-spinning. They&#x27;re not doing <i>good</i> work for 90 hours every week.<p>Makes sense if busyness is a status symbol.
