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.

Thanks for sharing your interpretation. It's good to see that we shared the same view. ☺️

Thanks for sharing such story. We need more people like her. People that think and act differently!
I love this, Rafa.
I've been struggling for some time now with having to log hours and that I should be working from 9 to 5.
I'd much rather focus on delivering solutions and working in uninterrupted state. In my own unique way and time.
Glad it resonates, Matej. Focus time is a luxury nowadays.
