Mastering the 100-hour work week - for females
When I have 100-hr work weeks, I have one thing in mind: maximizing sleep. I've had lots of busy weeks like this, unfortunately, and I've perfected a routine that helps gets me through. From the outside, it appears as through I've had a full night of sleep and ample time to get ready.
My morning routine is 20 minutes from bed to door:
-Wash face/brush teeth
-Run wet fingers through hair, then comb through with mousse into ponytail (mousse makes hair look wet/freshly washed all day)
-Pearl necklace, watch, diamond stud earrings
-Foundation and concealer - fresh, perfect skin is an absolute MUST if you want to look like you're able to handle your work hours with no problem
-Brooks Brothers non-iron dress shirt tucked in to black slacks or skirt
-Grab my food (pre-prepared meals from the weekend), phone, wallet, and out the door
I look exactly the same every day--I consistently wear a smooth, fitted dress shirt with nice jewelry, neat hair and clean skin. Looks like I actually had time to get ready.
On the subway I read the main headlines of the paper and eat my breakfast (something easy like a bagel or piece of toast).
Works out well--I arrive on time every day with a full belly, looking and feeling tidy, and informed of the day's headlines. And even though I'm dying for a nap on the inside, I appear a lot more prepared and ready to work than my peers.

I'm not a girl and I don't
I'm not a girl and I don't work in VC, but I also swear by night showers and pre-prepared meals. Night showers are way better in my book because you go to bed clean every night .. who wants to sleep in their own ick all the time .. and you're way quicker in the shower when you're tired knowing that it's the last thing between you and some hard-earned sleep. I'm also surprised at how many people are absolutely clueless when it comes to cooking. It's a lifesaver. It'll save you more time in the end knowing you can just grab something out of the fridge when you're rushing in the morning and can eliminate the wait in line wherever you'd stop otherwise.
A lot of people do certain things to add days to their life. I do things to add life to my days.

For me, morning showers are essential. Cannot wake up properly without them. Definitely +1 on the pre-making your food though!

I do both. Actually wash myself at night and in the morning just stand there until I wake up

20 minutes for a girl seems pretty rare, but good for you. Don't you wear other makeup, or style your hair (down)?
Second that, double showers
Second that, double showers are the way to go. Relaxation + waker upper. However I had moments where I fell asleep in the showers before.

I sweat too much over night
I sweat too much over night that a morning shower is necessary, plus I'd be a zombie, if I could skip it. My wife showers at night sometimes, but it'd never work for me. That said, I can get'er done all-in in 10 min...shower, teeth, gel, no shave...
