>Really ? You get better results working without a break ? I usually work on to stints with at least 2H in between, in crunge time I shift over to 3 shifts per day.

Depends on what I'm doing. If the weather is nice I'll usually take off in the afternoon and take the mountain bike out to the park. I try to get to the gym on bad weather days. But a lot of it has to do with whether or not I can get "in the zone" on whatever I'm working on. Sometimes I'm working on something and really don't realize 12 hours have passed.

I've always had a variety of attention-deficit disorder (though had never heard of it until I was in my 40s) and that means either not being able to concentrate at all or being obsessive for 18-24 stretches. Since I was high-functioning nobody ever thought I needed to do anything about it (other than not try to have a normal job)

I took to programming and writing because people were paying for mental horsepower and creativity, not the ability to keep to other people's schedules and follow the rules. I'm not a very 9-5 kind of guy <g> I've always considered that my greatest success in life has been to avoid having a job.
