I personally wouldn’t take that comic as burning the midnight oil. It’s more about keeping consistent to a point that you are the only one still here when everyone else gives up. Different people interpret differently I guess.

But it’s an insightful post, as always. Thanks for sharing!

We’re so conditioned to believe that work happens best between certain hours and in particular ways. It can be hard to break away from that to work when you’re at your best. One of my colleagues talked to me about the self-imposed guilt she faced when she decided to start her working day after 11am. She referred to dealing with that as i‘deinstitutionalising’ herself which I just loved.
