Are there any fastlaners here who have been able to successfully transition from the 14 hour days to a reasonable 7 or 8 hour day? After working the last 5 years at almost 14+ hours a day , I've been trying to work my way down to a typical 8 hour day.

I'm curious to hear what some of your experience has been, whether you've learned to love the 14+ hour days, or have you learned to get more out of your 8 hour day and why? I read guys like Grant Cardone who seem to talk about finding love in hard work
