It's A Digital Disease!

I'm new to this, so sorry if it's common knowledge, I tried looking up answers to no avail. I am trying to burn music onto CDs, I bought a pack of 50, but I'm trying to maximize how much I get onto them. Is it a bad idea to fill the disc up to almost its limit with data? For example, I've used 42 minutes out of 80 on my first disc, and I'm debating as to whether or not I should add another 22 minutes on to maximize how much I have on one disc. Would cutting it that close to the 80 minute limit reduce the disc's lifespan? Any help is greatly appreciated.
