The Sleep Factor
I get a fair amount of e-mail from folks asking me how I manage all my extra-curricular activities (i.e. AppFuse, Spring Live, etc.). They're usually looking for a better way to manage their own time, and hoping I have some tips. My answer is usually the same - "I don't sleep much". When I'm super productive , I get about 4 hours of sleep a night, and I can pull that off for around 3 days in a row before I have to crash for 8 hours or more.
It's a brutal way to get things done, but it works quite well. Last night, I took the sleep factor to a whole new level. I didn't sleep at all and I'm back in the office ready for a day of demos and cranking out code. I expect to start hallucinating sometime this afternoon.
