I work offshore so I do probably close to 100 hour weeks when I’m out there but don’t do that every week. Couldn’t imagine working that many hours constantly

Busiest I've ever been was working 45 hours a week, going to school full time and raising two kids under 2 years old.

I’ve been on 80 - 85 hours a week for the last 2.5 years.
Working nights no less.
Truck nuts ain’t cheap.

That's exactly what happens. You are fighting a losing battle. It's a no-win scenario. The more you work, the more you frick stuff up or have to go back on yourself later, but you turn into a machine and actually get lost in the grind and don't know any better- or at least I did/do. It is by the grace of God I came out of those years with my marriage and at least some of my friendships intact.
We were starting and building a business from less than $100,000 in revenue after the first 2 years of operating to, when I left 3 years later, revenue of over 18 million. It takes that kind of work to get those returns (assuming that it's like most startups and doesn't have the capital to hire a larger work force), but at what price?
I still work 60-70 a week most of the year (and often times more than that), but it's a different kind of work: it's work for myself; on my own time; handling calls, meetings, etc.. It's not slaving away on a computer, phone, jobsite, etc., and then waiting for my check at the end of the week knowing full-well what that check is going to be.
Nowadays, if I don't take that call, make that meeting, or work 90 hours a week (or even 40 hours a week), it's my own prerogative, but the sky is limited only by the work ethic I decide to put into it. My income is not fixed, and neither is my schedule, and the freedom of that reality is exhilarating.

We do 7x12 from Oct through Feb every year : 100-130 days. Been 25 years now and I haven't died, she'll be fine.
Contrary to everything the modern world tells you, pushing yourself to the limit is good for you. Not talking about an hour in the gym, I'm talking about the long haul. It strengthens you.

I did it a few years in my 20s. Made me hate everything and everyone.
I know my surgeon works close to 100 hours a week for long periods. He also takes a month off every year
