A 60 Hour Sweet Spot for Whom?

This headline feels completely disconnected from reality. The comment underneath it feels completely connected.

A 60 hour workweek might be a “sweet spot” for productivity, but it assumes we are not also running a full life outside of work.

I'm a full time leader and a mom with shared custody. On my weeks with the kids, I do drop offs, pick ups, dinners, lunches, groceries, cleaning, sports practice, play dates.

60 hours might be doable if you are not carrying the invisible labour of everyday life yourself. If you aren't cleaning, droping the kids, cooking, grocery shopping, etc.

If we talk about productivity without talking about caregiving and context, we are ignoring how most people actually live and work.
