Lately, I have decided to accept that my body doesn't want to do jack shit before 11:00 in the morning no matter how early I go to bed, and I have planned around it by doing a little extra work at night after everyone else is asleep.

It's probably not viable long-term but the alternative is a vastly shortened workday and an accumulating backlog I can't make a dent in. The past couple of nights, I've made a nice little dent in it, and I've also racked up a few extra hours that I can use for financial expenditures that are coming up soon.

And I'm oddly, kind of okay with the break in the routine; I felt this intense pressure to have one single block of a workday but I feel better about myself breaking up the workday like this.

Whatever works, I suppose! I continue to be extremely fortunate that I even have this privilege in the modern job landscape, and I endeavour to find a way that everyone can enjoy a work schedule that works for them.
