The creative burst part is very true. Those short times are way more productive than normal, long ones.
This only speaks to bloggers or developers still working in a silo style environment. in a high-velocity DevOps environment, not all of this would fly. But with that said. It was a great read and kept me engaged.
This is very true. That's why being a freelancer, I feel like I can be in charge of my own time and make the most value out of it. It's not about the quantity, but the quality of hours. Thanks for this insightful article!
Speak for yourself.
I often work, focused, for 6 hours straight (without any pause). Sometimes, a lot more than that.
Doing what I like, for a product I own, it's totally different.
But, some days, I can't even start to work... And there are days like this that just forcing to start to work it works and I stay focused for a long time.
I guess the article title should be: no company slave can work 8 hours straight. =)
Very insightful, loved reading it... 👏👏👏

I've read a few articles about "knowledge workers". Man people really are oblivious to the fact that most people are working the full 40 hours.
And not at a cushy desk with a coffee cup. I'd love to see you work warehouse. We bust our butts at breakneck speed all day long.
I have had easier jobs but I've never met someone who does nothing 5 hours a day at work. You guys must be really lucky
