I suggest committing to something less (maybe a lot less) than 40 hours next week, then a bit more the week after that, etc.
I don't think most people who are in an office for 40 hours work anything like 40 hours. (Not that that's a bad thing--taking breaks is good, and I think most people underestimate how much time they need to spend recharging in order to operate at peak effectiveness.)
I agree. (I certainly spend much less than 100% of my office time doing useful work. It's not clear to me how the difference should be partitioned between "taking necessary time to recharge, process things in the background, etc." and "being a lazy slacker".)
Well yeah, maybe work your way up to 40 hours. But you should have an upper-limit on how much you work.
