That's really interesting. Was there any drop in overall productivity/delivery pace as a result? There are definitely times when I wind up cranking out buggier-than-usual code later in the day/night to meet deadlines or get things done that otherwise wouldn't (at least, not on schedule). Sometimes when I timebox myself too much like that and it winds up dragging projects out days or weeks longer than they would have been had I not just blocked out a few hours to get the dang thing working and then cleaned it up afterwards; this is particularly true for complex projects where it can take a large portion of the day simply to build the mental context necessary to actually start executing on what needs to be done. If I cut myself off at a certain arbitrary time, the time spent building mental context earlier is totally wasted.
