In terms of the significant volume, have you compared your volume to other players and removed all in sats? I think your volume is fairly decent although I think you would maybe have done better with fewer sessions but more higher volume sessions.
You're right that my volume starts to look a fair bit more respectable compared to others when sats (especially all-in ones) are taken out of the equation. I also agree that I'd probably benefit from playing with less frequency but with a higher level of intensity/volume per session.
It may be different/easier with grinding cash games due to less parameters changing over the course of a session (ie relative stack sizes, ICM considerations etc.), but when I'm critical of myself for the volume I managed to put in over the course of this challenge, it's in the context of the marathon sessions I used to regularly be able to put in a couple of years back. I seem to get mentally fatigued far more quickly now than I used to which I put down to either getting older or growing slightly bored of the game. I'd like to think it's the latter but I fear it's more likely the former .
I don't think it works as well playing smaller MTT sessions. Late on in a session your table count drops and at the start it can be hard to get table count up. You can focus a little more when table count is lower but I think overall your hourly isn't great when you play smaller sessions.
