It's more like a 52 hour work week for me. I think it depends on your personality. I have a hard time stopping my work, but I still think the benefits outweigh that.

I had this problem and solved it by tracking time spent in a spreadsheet. I have time targets for work and personal projects per week. If they are above, next week I switch some time e.g. from work to personal projects. I found this greatly reduces risk of burnout for me.

Why not just use a time tracking app like Toggl instead of a spreadsheet?

I guess the spreadsheet isn't so bad if you work in long, 2-4+ hour chunks. I often work in 30-minute bursts so just being able to click the start and stop buttons in my browser is less tedious than entering the time manually

Sure, that would work as well. I have macros in the spreadsheet, so starting/stopping a timer is quick too. I like to see at the beginning of the day what is my current ideal work/project ratio.
