This also means that choosing to stay a bit late[1] because you're working on a hard problem becomes an easier choice, because you know you can stop any time and be on your bed in under 15 seconds, no bus no car no bike no commute.
[1]: If your employer doesn't like if you take a longer lunch break or something to get this time back, then it's time to start looking for a different one.
- jwells89 3y agoThis is true, but depending on the individual it can also mean that one might need to be good at drawing a line and stopping at it. I do sometimes work late when chewing on a more difficult problem, but if I don't stop early enough to leave a decent gap between end of work and bedtime, it can sometimes be difficult to get my head turned off and get to sleep. I miss my teens and early twenties when I could flop into bed and fall asleep no matter what I had been doing prior.
