I'm going to go the other way: if 7 days is not enough then you are not thinking hard enough about how you want to solve the problem that you have. Because if you have to do so much, type so much code, organize so many things, just to get your problem resolved, and it cannot be split up or delegated, then you are doing it wrong.

I do not know how it is for other people but I cannot be in a creative and problem-solving mood 8 hours a day. Heck: I have the best days were I actually type very little but still get to _finally_ understand and solve whatever I'm looking into.

Working efficiently is underrated.

I work in manufacturing; my boss could use this lesson real bad. Dude works every single day, 14-16 hours a day. Always going on about how he doesn't have time for this or that, too much going on. Always forgetting stuff because he's got 472 things on his mind. Probably has trouble finding any of those 472 things in his Excel-based wall of notes that gets called "task management". Constant miscommunication within the company. Total lack of systematization. He openly admits he he can't take a vacation because the company can't run without him there constantly.

Absolutely refuses to consider revising the processes he's used for 20 years. Where have I worked? What's some young buck gonna come in there and teach him? Meh, not my problem. I systematized my one little area and the rest can go to heck.

This guy has constructed his own prison and chooses to live in it everyday.
