I think it’s important also to realize that there’s an economically convenient standard of “hours per day” of work that people “should” get done, but that our bodies don’t actually function that way. Whenever possible, flexible schedules being applied can make the most of how people’s natural ebb and flow of energy works. If I’m “in the zone” and making good progress on a project, I’m not going to stop because I’ve reached an arbitrary 8-hour workday limit — 10, 12, 15 hours can go by productively. By the same token, there are days when it just isn’t flowing and if I get 2 hours in that’s a victory. I’m fortunate to be in an industry where working that way is an option. It would be great if we could look at ways to incorporate more flexibility into all kinds of work, which would likely result in higher quality and greater job satisfaction.
