RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.

4 to 5 hours of work, ladys and gentlemen.
That's actually close to a regular working day. 4-5h of core work, 2h of correspondence (e. g. Zoom meetings, bullshit emails), 1h of various breaks, e. g. lunch. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
The difference is that she is doing something she most likely enjoys and most of the rest of us chums are prostituting our time for money ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ
So is she. She's just got a better pimp.
FYI she died in 2018.
But the important difference is that she did the work uninterrupted by the bullshit...
If one of the best speculative fiction authors to live only needs 5 hours of work a day to create The Left Hand of Darkness and the Earthsea series, then maybe it's something worth exploring.
Most of us work 8 hours a day and probably produce nothing "valuable" except shareholder profits so...
For most of those 8 hours, we are not productive to begin with and just procrastinate over small tasks, because it's not humanly possible to be hyperfocused for 8 hours straight.
