How successful people work less—and get more done [Quartz]
If you're working more than 55 hours a week, you're wasting time: "The [Stanford] study found that productivity per hour declines sharply when the workweek exceeds 50 hours, and productivity drops off so much after 55 hours that there’s no point in working any more.

'They (lawyers) are a part of the e-Discovery team involved in managing the technical submission requirements for companies on global investigations and litigations,' an EY spokesperson said in an email response to ET."
