I feel you. I&#x27;m a non-24 so regular office hours are often problematic for me. When I was self-employed, I&#x27;d just work whenever I would feel like, be it regular hours or weekends, day or night. I&#x27;d accomplish a lot more because I would simply be in the right mood for work at that time.<p>I tried a 9-5 &quot;flexible&quot; job (remote foss work) for a year or so and was often extremely unproductive, sometimes for several weeks. It just clashes with the way I operate.<p>For most of the past year I&#x27;ve been trying to follow my github streak to maintain the idea of doing a little work every day, no matter how small (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jleclanche&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jleclanche&#x2F;</a>). It&#x27;s been an incredibly productive year and I&#x27;ve never felt unproductive like I did before. I haven&#x27;t felt the need for holidays because my &quot;work days&quot; are not tiresome. I still take holidays sometimes, as long as I can get one small piece of work done during the day, even if it only takes 15 minutes.<p>I kinda miss freelancing, although closed-source work makes me itch nowadays.
