Intensity of everyone's days

hours have been talked about ad nauseum on this forum, but curious how intense / jam packed everyone's days are. currently working about 65-70 hrs a week, but i feel like everyday is jam packed to the hilt - meetings, work, calls, etc nonstop. no downtime whatsoever. between looking at new deals, closing deals, and managing current portcos, there are always a bunch of things to do. curious whether everyone else has this experience? sometimes doesn't feel like i have a second to breathe. so i suppose you could say my 65-70 hrs are "productive." curious how everyone else's experience is.
