Here's but one workhack. Via those railing against the (admittedly misguided) 4-day-weekers. From a founder called Roei. Real name, strangely nominatively determinant as app brand ready. Whilst recounting his pride at once fasting for 85 hours straight, in part to "unlock another level of focus". Amid an overall drive towards
