I probably average around 60hrs per week and my biggest reservations about this are:
1. That's 60hrs of being a sedentary lazy-ass
2. The more I work outside of work, the less well-rounded I will be
I'm a fit person and take regular walking/stretching breaks and switch between standing and sitting but I still feel like I'm spending way too much time being motionless.
Regarding being well-rounded, I've spent large chunks of my life focused on music, philosophy and learning new (natural) languages. I find that it makes me happier and makes me a more creative programmer, so I tend to feel guilty when realize at the end of the week that I've spent all of my evenings coding and reading RFCs.
