WARNING! The following may be a topic only Steve and the ultra-productive can address:

Assuming you take care of your body (daily sufficient nutrition, sleep, exercise, etc.), is it possible to spend all of your time on work?

For example, let's say John's body needs 8 hrs. of sleep every 24 hrs. He also needs 2 hrs. each day to eat, exercise, shower, and take care of all other necessary tasks related to physical survival. Is it possible for John's body/mind/etc. to spend ALL of his remaining 14 hrs. a day on mostly mental (but sometimes physical) work?

Or, on average, how many hours of daily, consistent work can humans endure without endangering their overall health?
