πŸ˜„ well those 12 hour days were sort of a special time in my life where I felt like it was all-or-nothing if I wanted to make a career out of this stuff. I have a high threshold for effort and I basically maxed myself out (culminating in catching shingles and having to take a break 😬)..... So that is to say: thoroughly unsustainable in terms of the total load... But the hours of day were pretty pleasant. It's pretty cathartic to be going into the wee hours when the whole neighborhood is asleep.

Glad you were able to break through and find a more normal workflow. Pushing for a goal like this in short periods are a great way to get a big boost. You gotta listen to your body and family though and take everything into account. You gotta slow down before it all blows up.
