Manual labor also has its limitations. I used to work in construction, and after my 37 hours my body didn't want to continue. Sure, I've worked more some weeks in an attempt to get roofing done before a period of bad weather, but I'm not convinced I actually did more work than regularly, because I'd just be more tired the following day/week.

Of course, but up until a certain "classic" limit, it's quite linear, right? Like work 2 days get 2 days of work done. Work 3 get 3. Or maybe you'd be as productive in 4 days as a tired person doung 5?
