Working Hours

We were interested to read about a comprehensive Finnish study that looked at the results of working long hours. Although the study doesn't have answers as to why, it concluded that those people working more than 55 hours a week had poorer mental skills than those who worked a standard working week.

We've always questioned the merits of long hours whether driving trucks, working in a bank or making videogames. We've stuck to 9-5 and we've seen great results. It's interesting to see that the relative merits of working hours are still being fiercely debated in places such as the IGDA Leadership Forum.
