It's definitely manageable. I quite like the Blitz format. It's actually going to feel painful now that there aren't any new blitzes for me to start playing with that much longer deadline. People have this silly habit of dragging games on to their two-week deadlines when you generally need less than half that for a productive day.
The flip side is that the shorter deadlines make it harder for scum to stall out of bad positions if they get caught out early.
