There's an old war movie from the 50's called "Twelve 0'clock High." It's about B-17 pilots in WWII.
The commanding officer tells his pilots "Listen we need to get the job done. Forget about going home.
Just consider yourselves dead already." It's sorta like that. Forget about having a life during the week.
Make no plans whatsoever. Just go to work everyday knowing you're going to work 12 hours.
And speaking for myself, once I got that into my head, it really wasn't so bad. And like Rod says,
big checks are nice.
