Here's a great article about why we have to get back to the 40-hour workweek. It's worth reading in its entirety, especially if you are the kind of person who a.) thinks that working longer hours means more productivity, or b.) that people who don't work more than 40 hours are lazy c.) feels burnout and notices that it's taking longer than you thought to recover.
One of the most interesting points: people who do manual or industrial jobs can be productive for up to 8 hours a day. People who are 'knowledge workers" - ie. people who sit in front of a screen, or who are constantly reading and calculating, would be better off sticking with 6 hours daily.
Variety is the spice of life, I say.
