My brain hurts!

Around 2:00 or 3:00 my brain starts to shut down. That's why I like to do analysis in the AM and inspections in the PM. I'm lucky to work at home and a 15-20 minute nap around that time can do wonders. Also, avoid a heavy lunch.

That’s when it’s starts getting harder for me too! I keep going, with a couple of 5 min breaks- but if I was at home I would take a longer break for sure.
 
They say spend 10,000 hours working on something, and that is about what it takes to be an expert.
So 40 hours x 50 weeks = 2000 hours x 5 years = 10,000 hours.
So figure 5 years, minimum.

But, as you repeat the same research procedures, and all the rest of it, you get faster as you go along.

When I started as an analyst, I drank 2+ POTS of coffee a day. It is the worst time period, second only to the stress of when you go out on your own and don't have any business until you procure it.

All analysts go the grind for several years. It isn't much different in most professional service industries to get to about 10k hour mark. It is common in everything from finance, accounting, law, medicine, appraisal, etc. You gotta find your flow; You can do it!

Thanks for the encouragement
