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 💰💰💰
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.
