I notice it much more when we're near the equinox's, not sure if that is a correlation to light or temperature. I am always upfront about my strengths and weaknesses. My manager and team accept that I can go forever on some simple things, because they know I'm going to do a good job in the end, and because I am always there to help someone struggling, or fix an outage. I tend to be given projects that are expected to take a long time anyway, while junior engineers get the shorter projects with the expectation that they'll ask me for help. It is a bit annoying when I want to work on something, and my manager says "let's see how long this takes you first." I suspect your managers understand your weaknesses, and have decided that your strengths are worth more. I suspect part of the problem is the standup culture of expecting a daily report. I used to have a bi-weekly meeting where we went over how things were going on all the projects. I was so much more productive on that system than I am in agile with all the meetings. Starting the day off by remembering how little you did yesterday is just a bummer. In the older system I would wake up early and work like 15 hours once or twice a month, and that was my most productive time. I can't do that now, because I know I would have to stop to get on a meeting.
