The key point here is feeling obligated to work outside regular hours. My most productive time is early in the morning or late at night. There’s just less happening at that time, both professionally and personally. There are fewer interruptions and less need to context switch, making it easier to focus and get things done. Knowing that I’m more creative and productive outside normal business hours, I try to take brakes during the day because I know I’ll make up the time later. I’d much rather get out of the house and take an hour walk when the sun is up and work at night.
