Experiments with Working 20 Hours a Day
After trying to do this for one week, let me share you what I learned with this adventure.
Working on your own has some advantages, you can start any hour you want, you can finish at any hour you want and you can also take a break any time you want.
The last thing I tried to do was to imitate Bing project leader working schedule. This man works up to 21 hours per day and seems to be happy and healthy with just two or three hours of sleep per day.
The first time I tries I did not felt much tired. The first day was normal. I went to bed later and I got up earlier the next day. So far the only thing that changed was I did much more work than I used to do before.

The second day was a little more frustrating. The weather was very good and me friends invited me to go to the beach with them, instead I stayed there working to make the experiment to write this article for you. I must also say that in the second day I felt a little more tired than in the first day.
The third day was very hard for me. I was sleeping just three to four hours per night and if you do not feel anything on the first days, you will feel it in the third day, all the time. Now I could not finish the schedule and I really had to go to the bed earlier. I could not see my keyboard, I was feeding my 17 year old sister instead of myself and she asked what was I doing to her and I even could not speak normally. Why did this happen? Because my diet did not fit my working schedule. I was physically exhausted but also hungry and very thirsty. I got up that night 3 times to eat and drink. This taught me to drink and eat more while working.
The forth day was much better. With better food and more water I can do more. Now I add some sugar to the bottle so water is tasty and has glucose.
This is the last day of the experiment. I love it so much, I can work so much better now that I am going to follow this way of life.
I hope you try this with yourself and stick to it. The more you work, the more you accomplish, the better ALL your life will be.
