Whilst I don't disagree with the points in the article, I think the primary reason for the increase in productivity at night is the 'soft' deadline - knowing that I really should go to sleep, but perhaps I can just finish off One Last Thing. I find the same effect from working in a cafe (I've been here a while, I really should free up this table), or even just from drinking lots of water and needing to go to the bathroom.

- usrusr 12y agoMy thoughts exactly. "I should really stop now, but i can make an exception for this one last thing, while i am so good at it. [workworkwork] Done. Oh, and then there is this other one last thing [workworkwork]..." is the most powerful kind of flow, because the illusion of the current task being the last one helps focus like few other things.
