Through weekly video essays, "Making It Work" showcases how real people have upgraded their personal or financial lives in some meaningful way. Making your life work for you doesn't mean getting rich just for the sake of it. It means making the most of what you have to build a life you love, both in your present and in your future. And while managing money is a crucial life skill for everyone, there's no one "right way" to go about it - you have to figure out what works best for you, full stop.

1. accept you may be working 60+ hours a week and work out what that means 2. give yourself a cut off time everyday 3. allot specific time to side hustle everyday 4. be efficient with your time 5. avoid staying up late 6. carve out a space for work 7. ask for help 8. find ways for legitimate self care

[@TaureanDreams]

Thank God for you!!!

[@anonymouslee2061]

That fact you just accept this as normal is really fucking pathetic.

[@sor3999]

I also vouch for the cut off time. If I was particularly unproductive that day I tell myself "too bad try again tomorrow".

[@LoganAllec]

4:46 Even going broader than this, this kind of hustle just isn't possible with kids. It just won't work. You'll feel incredibly guilty for spending so little time with them. So yes, do it now, make that crazy coin while you have the time to do so and invest it as much as you can now while you can still work 60, 70, 80 hours a week. I worked a schedule like this before having a family and it was fine, but soon I had to pick two between my family, my full-time job, and my side hustle. I picked my family and my side hustle and now I couldn't be happier. Financial and time freedom just isn't offered in modern day corporate America.

Financial freedom is a hoax

[@lolojack5109]

These tips really help. It’s how I’ve been managing an 80+ hr work week. I’m currently working a full time job and have 3 side hustles. I can kind of make it work because they’re all remote work, I stay with my parents and because of Covid, I’m cautious about having too crazy a social life. So work keeps me occupied and I don’t mind working to 2am in the morning. I know it’s not sustainable long term so I’m only continuing this until the end of the year by which I’ll be able to put a nice deposit on an apartment and having a very nice investment portfolio in place. I practice self care by sleeping in on Saturdays and going out to see a friend or just take a walk. Or I spend time with my family in between work breaks. I’ve also relegated some easier tasks to my sister who can then earn some extra money and ease the burden on me. I haven’t yet found the perfect balance yet but I know this is temporary and since I don’t really have anything else to do, I might as well give my financial portfolio a nice boost.

I can’t see how 60 + work week is healthy. Even if these tips are followed I can’t imagine how long someone can go on like this without a damaging consequence.

[@LoganAllec]

Keep in mind that working 60 hours a week sitting down at a computer in a climate-controlled office is a far cry from doing 60 hours of manual labor per week.

[@JenJayBanks]

@@LoganAllec I’ve done 70 -80 hours of both physical labor and comfortable office environment work and I will take physical fatigue over mental fatigue any day. Either way something will have to give in the end if you go too long. This is not ideal nor healthy.

[@LoganAllec]

@@JenJayBanks To each their own I guess. I personally never minded long days (and nights) in the office (until I had a family of course at which point I felt extremely guilty for working so much) but couldn't imagine working that much out in the hot sun.

[@JenJayBanks]

@@LoganAllec Physical labor isn’t always in the hot sun. No physical or office work for me. I am exempt so I work as much or as little as I want and love the people I work with. It’s nice to have time to do the things I enjoy with the people I love and have a plan in place to keep it that way. Everyone is different. Sometimes people get sucked into the grind finding ways to justify it. Other just can’t stop working and enjoy every minute of it.

[@LoganAllec]

@@JenJayBanks Yeah I never understood people who loved every minute of their crazy long, no-sleep corporate workweeks. When I was in it I didn't mind it, but I definitely didn't "love" it. Unless there's a true path to big money reasonably soon before you're too old to enjoy it, I don't think sacrificing all those hours of one's life away from one's family is worth it. At least in my field, people were grinding away week in and week out for partners making millions while they themselves made a tenth of that. Didn't sit right with me eventually. Hence why I quit.

[@kimmontenegro2258]

I used to work over 60 hrs a week. I was able to take multiple vacations during those years due to good time management. It took me years to burn out but I still burned out. I realize that I pushed so hard not necessarily for financial reasons (no complaints on making more money) but for my ego boost. It felt hellagood to be sought after during that time. Towards the end, I prayed for the program that I was teaching, to end. Jumped for joy when I got the text from my boss delivering the news to me while I was on vacation🤣🌏✈🛩

Do we not think that there a problem with our culture if people have to work this much? Like 60 hours just does not seem reasonable. I get that if you have to do it, you have to do it, but to me it means the system is broken.

[@dc-13258]

I feel the same. But a lot of people would defend working 60-80+ hours a week for a myriad of reasons and claim they can still have a life outside work. I’m not saying it’s impossible, but why is this the standard now? Why is everyone expected to work 60+ hours and be OK with it?

[@akbarratt]

Exactly this. Maybe you can manage to protect your mental health but your body still has limits. A lot of 20 somethings are cruising toward permanent health struggles and don't even know it.

[@kiya12309]

YES. Thank you. The 40 hour work week is as long, if not longer than many other cultures. And even when people aren't actually AT work, they're checking their emails, never really getting to relax. I keep up very strict boundaries between my work life and my personal life. I do not check my email on nights and weekends. I try my best to not think about work. I am thankful to have a boss who is okay with this, and even encourages it. When I'm stressed out, unhappy, and unrested, my work isn't any good anyways. And the more we give into working unreasonable hours, the more we set the precedent that working 60 hours a week is reasonable - and it's not.

It’s intimidating nevertheless

[@wintrygarden]

I work 60+ hours a week for 9 weeks a year (in the Before Times) because I work as a seamstress at my local renaissance festival. Honestly, I'm glad that the faire was cancelled this year, because I'm working as a solution architect now, which has me pulling 45-60 hours a week on incredibly technical work. I meet with clients for 8 hours a day sometimes, and still have work to do outside of meetings. I'm leading 7 projects when most of my coworkers are on 1-4 (and 4 is seen as too many!). When I'm not in meetings, I'm writing documentation, testing functionality, preparing for demos, reviewing data, working with product support ... it's a lot on my brain. All of this advice is really helpful for people who just work a demanding job, as well. Side hustles are such a challenging thing to balance, but also, working long hours at a single job presents its own challenge. And this contributor has some fantastic tips for both sets of challenges!!

[@Tashas_Travels]

I am actually working 15hrs a day with no overtime pay. If we mention it to my employers well they say we can quit and they can hire other staff as there are people desperate our jobs. My body is tired, I'm physically exhausted and I'm always in a bad mood. I'm literally tired of spending 15hrs of my life with co-workers I now dislike because of their character and they just annoy me. And I'm earning peanuts, still living paycheck to paycheck because of covid and me using my savings when we stayed at home for 3 months. I want to quit my job but then I'll have nothing to do and will go back to being broke. I hate my job,I'm unhappy and I want to cry everyday. I don't have anyone to talk to and it breaks my heart.

Tell your boss to stick the job her his ass! Then walk out. I’ve done that many of times. You won’t be stressed out anymore. Then find a 40 hour a week job.

[@onionwarrior7447]

The cut off time advice is the most important one for me (and lot of others as well I'm sure). Back when I freelanced full time, I literally worked from the moment I woke up to the moment I slept (and I only sleep maybe 5 hours on a GOOD day), seven days a week. No days off. No holidays. No after work hours. No AFTER work, period. It burnt me out. It gave me a slew of mental health problems I still carry to this day. If there's nothing else you take from this video, please take the cut off time seriously. THAT's the best and most effective way to avoid burn out.

[@lilfun100]

I work 2 jobs 11 hour days 5 days a week so 55hours a week. I keep weekends free for myself and give my self time in the evenings just to relax and unwind before bed even though I wake up at 4am I will go to bed around 9:30/10pm. I personally think its important to give yourself the time to wind down and relax before you sleep whilst still keeping a healthy sleep schedule. I also think is important that you give yourself a day or two off so you can do things you can't when you are working long days. Also if your job is very physically demanding you need to make sure you are eating well and taking a break if needed and possible the same does apply for less active work aswell

[@IMakeupStuff]

Isn't the quote, "work smarter, not harder"? Which would imply that it's not about not working hard, but not working harder than you need to to get the same results.

[@milikoshki]

yeah, agreed. there are almost always "smarter" workarounds to be found to escape the time consuming "harder" work, i.e automating something rather than doing it manually. It applies perfectly to my IT job, but I s'pose it's not universal? idk

[@IMakeupStuff]

@@milikoshki It doesn't even have to be automated. Just not adding complexity to tasks that you can do easier. Don't make something 5 steps when it could be 3, etc.

[@xreed8]

A part of working smarter is working harder, its just the plain truth. And often times the only way to work smarter is to simply delegate the work to someone else, ie swallowing your pride and asking for help. Theres only so much you can optimize in your work life, you’re still going to roughly work the same amount of hours. So its really just about doing the work as unglamorous as that is

[@blacklyfe5543]

Whats the expectation as far as other life obligations with some of these jobs? I am very involved in my church life and volunteering, certainly 15-20 hours a week. So my 40 hour a week job feels like enough... when I add in my other "commitments" that are important to me, it's certainly 60 hours. If you're working a 60 hours a week, are you also committed to other "life stuff"? or do the extra 20 hours take it up? I've done 60 hour weeks in college, but I didn't do much else. And I certainly wasn't living a regular healthy rhythm of daily exercise, keeping my home put together, eating well, and investing in consistent relationship.

[@wintrygarden]

I think that your volunteering activity is its own side hustle in this way, even if it's not a "job". Some 60h a week jobs allow for time mid day to exercise, cook, clean, and do other self care tasks. I work ~50h a week most of the time, but my job allows me time to take breaks during the day, start early of needed, or work late to make up lost time. It's just a matter of the specific job/s and how you balance your schedule. Also, her point about delegating can also apply to outsourcing - some folks will work extra hours, but pay for a cleaning service, or get a meal delivery service so they don't have to grocery shop. You can save time in other ways depending on your resources and priorities.

I honestly do think more balance is needed in life. If somebody is forced to work such long hours because of their circumstances - I understand that. But if we have choice than I guess we need to ask ourselves what makes our life worthwile - I think life focused on work only, with a bit of TV as a past-time would be very unfulfilling to me. And I honestly like my work a lot :) So perhaps the question could be - should we work 60 or 80 hours a week? What is the true motivation behind that? I dont buy the argument that it is because of work ethics... Those are good tips to survive those 60 hours without going insane though!

Working any more than 40 hours a week is really damn stupid. There's a point where you don't have a life for yourself anymore, at which point you almost cease to exist as a real person. I won't ever work that much because I would actually like to have a life first, and a job second.

[@DaveTalksBusiness]

[@Luumus]

I came from a workaholic family and even though my country has one of the highest work hours per day in the EU, my parent's work life balance is much closer to what is the norm in the US than in Europe. So seeing my parents give their all to work, has made me feel like I need to do the same to be successful and frankly it's not at all healthy. I'm lucky my manager always tells me to not work during the weekend and doesn't put undue pressure on me to work longer hours even though I do it to myself, however I'm finding it very hard to get out of the mindset of working so much, partially because I love what I do but also because relaxing and not doing anything productive negatively affects my mood, it makes me feel guilty and without purpose and kind of sad even though I have a ton of hobbies to be doing instead. Currently I'm working on my thesis and working full time and that's been busy, but I'm already thinking that once I'm done with the thesis I'll get a student and do some tutoring on the weekends for the fun of it. Even though I don't even need the extra money... All of this to say that I just dunno how to manage having a healthier work life balance to be honest...

[@gary_beniford]

some advice ive heard is to work very hard when you're young to find where your limit is. some people are just born workaholics who really like their profession too. nothing wrong with that it's just if you are the workaholic type it's best to learn negotiation skills to leverage yourself as a high productivity person and learn to set boundaries on how much you can give and how much you will give to anything in life. the only way I see high productivity being sustainable is if you stay aware of your mental and physical health and are in tune with your body taking breaks is nothing to be ashamed of either. work can create stress and if it's not managed with release then it can build up and become toxic. that can mean burnout, weakened immune system to diseases, heart attack, cancer and unhealthy habits to cope.

[@honeypeadigital]

I know you have your opinion about the "work smart not hard" saying but dispute it saying "not hard", it does not literally mean don't work hard. It just means if you are going to burn yourself out trying to complete 10 tasks all at once and having each of them 50% complete in 3 days, work smart and work on one or two at a time and get 8/10 100% complete in the 3 days instead. So I wouldn't discount that saying. A hard efficient workflow will always beat a hard inefficient workflow.

[@figuringitout4732]

Does it suck working 60 hours a week? Yes. Is it sustainable long-term. No. But from my point of view, as someone who grew up low income, this is what I need to do to break that cycle. I don't want to have 10s of thousands of dollars in credit card debt to survive. I don't want to decide which bills I'm not going to pay. I don't want to rely on my family to help me with money (because they struggle too). This is what I'm doing now to get ahead while my expenses are low. When I get my masters, that will help me make more money, so I won't need to work two jobs (60+ hours) a week

Im about to start working 60+ hours a week. Im soo torn, on 1 hand im looking at FINALLY getting to over 100k a year, on another hand im wondering how im going to juggle 2 jobs and a family. Im lucky enough to still have weekends off, but im worried its not going to be enough time with family. I guess we will see how this goes but IF I have to choose it will ALWAYS come down to family. LETS SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!!:)

@Mr Money um okay good for you i guess lol..

Back in 2020 I worked 80 hrs a week for 11 months to get out of debt. I'll tell you the first 6 months are the most difficult.

[@JuanJimenez.]

Damn dude, what was your job?

[@Shadowkitty360]

And if you have any unpaid work to do at home like house work then you are screwed 😀 free time doesn't exist for you.

[@carlacondie8088]

I’m 25 and I work 50 hours a week and study/class part time for about 20 hours. The rest of the time, I try to finish up projects around the house, and spend time with my boyfriend and friends.

[@makesaveinvest1401]

Very helpful to me!! Thank you for sharing this!!👏🌟

[@penguru21]

I only wish my 60+ hour work week included a side hustle. It's just a salary position. I don't know how to stop and no matter how much I work i can never catch up. I'm overwhelmed and losing ground. I earn much more per year than my last job. But per hour I earn less now. How discouraging.

[@amberjoy1011]

I'm so excited for the Summit! Thank you for making it accessible after the fact for those busy during the day on Friday!

Worked twenty and thirteen days in a row at Carvana so much for how "lazy" i am

[@melissachong4198]

In asia, people are expected to go overtime everyday. My friends told me they go into work from 8am and leave like 7pm or later. It is part of the culture. My dad work for a bank in asia and he works non-stop everyday (phone calls even on vacation). He roll his eyes when I complain about work...😂 I feel very lucky to be working in the US where there is actually work-life balance. Can't complain.

[@NovaaGrind]

I'm starting 60-70 work week again, pays well but demanding. I don't know how long I'll last and want to pay off debt before going back to school. It sucks that we are overworking because we are short staffed and so many don't want to work during covid.....I really should expand to investing and finding small streams of income. There's no way I can keep doing this in my 60s. Horrible way to waste life

You can do it most I worked was like sixty three hours

I tried buying a ticket for the summit. I was told that I had 30 mins before closing time. The payment never went through in PayPal even though I tried twice. I hope you will make tickets to the summit available for persons who will still wish to purchase afterwards.

[@SA0992]

I hope for the same. Since the content is available afterward anyway, why not? With a busy week, I forgot it was happening this week but I would still love to be able to purchase access and go through the content.

Is this an American thing for it to be normal to work 60+ hours a week? In Sweden that’s unheard of (unless you are maybe a nurse or have a VERY high position in your workplace) and is regulated both in union agreements and the law.

[@JenJayBanks]

Unfortunately it is in most cases. Low wages/high cost of living. Decent pay/high demand. It could be multiple small jobs or salary in which case you are exempt from protections hourly employees have. I work salary. When I got promoted I was told I would have more control over my schedule. Biggest lie ever! Now I’m on-call 24/7.

People who benefit from 60+hr work weeks: shareholders and CEO. Lots of saving potential in not having to add another employee and less health benefit/benefits to pay out! OR… you can hire more people and unemployment rate wouldn’t be as high. Also, they created unpaid internships for your benefits. 😉😂

what if the company that you're working in expects you to work for 12 hours a day ?

If you work on a holiday you get paid more. So if u work 15 an hour you get paid 30 an hour

Not always the case, many jobs in many countries don't pay any extra for any holidays or overtime.
