I'm trying to manage my main software business right now, plus starting a new startup which now has a fairly firm deadline of delivering our beta release by the week of May 20th (some promotional opportunities arose that we wanted to take advantage of, now we're booked for those so it's do or die!).
I know I have workaholic tendencies, and I agree they ought to be curbed (balance produces so much more and so much faster in my experience), but right now I don't have much choice. I imagine many startups, esp. those funded by day jobs, find themselves in similar situations.
So maybe temporary or binge workoholism is worth it, as long as it's not habit forming :)
