I&amp;#x27;d guess he&amp;#x27;s succeeding despite of that workflow (many hours spent) instead of because of it.&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; &amp;quot;That might mean being on a conference call and also responding to emails (I’m happy listening and writing at the same time)&amp;quot;.&lt;p&gt;The people who I know did this missed very important details of meetings, and even has to be clued in that someone was speaking to them. They constantly relied on others around them to pay attention to the important details of any meeting. Definitely led to confusion and issues (and blaming).&lt;p&gt;I stopped reading after the first section because all of this brought back memories (and a really strong negative reaction) of such crazy ridiculous ego&amp;#x27;s I&amp;#x27;ve worked with in the passed. I won&amp;#x27;t believe Troy is doing life better than us. He&amp;#x27;s working (very hard!) and &lt;i&gt;will&lt;/i&gt; be successful, but at the cost of others around him and ultimately to the detriment of his quality of life.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How I optimised my life to make my job redundant</title><url>http://www.troyhunt.com/2015/07/how-i-optimised-my-life-to-make-my-job.html</url></story>

I’d usually start at 6am. I always worked on weekends, albeit with leaving time for family activities as well. The laptop came on every holiday and I had to work very hard at balancing productivity with time out. Like I say, that’s not very palatable to many people but this is what it took for me to get this amount of stuff done.&lt;p&gt;Does anyone else feel like this falls under a combination of &amp;quot;workaholic&amp;quot; and luck of genetics?&lt;p&gt;Even with caffeine, I simply can&amp;#x27;t do two nights in a row with less than 7 hours of sleep and retain a level of mental acuity I need to &amp;quot;work&amp;quot; effectively.&lt;p&gt;Of course he may not be meaning this literally but I have the feeling the way that is written he is.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>How I optimised my life to make my job redundant</title><url>http://www.troyhunt.com/2015/07/how-i-optimised-my-life-to-make-my-job.html</url></story>
