A pretty good hourly rate actually. I am definitely treating this as a sprint. And for the following 2 years I have lined up 35-40hour per week work. This will allow for a significant runway when the project ends as well. I’m hoping to have 12months salary in the bank.

Fair enough -- I genuinely hope the odds work out for you, then.

To be clear- what I said leaves broad room for interpretation. I am by no means at deaths door. What I meant is a few things have happened for this sprint. 1) my stress level is higher 2) focus is harder 3) easier to make poor food choices 4) fatigue sets in towards the end of the week

That said Ive made adjustments that have helped 1) plan out the week of food on sunday and prepare as much as possible 2) forced excercise in the evening for 30-60 minutes 3) hard sleep boundaries.

If you're going to do it, then please take an evening off to cook good food for yourself during the week and get at least 7 hours of sleep a night.
