Here's my mindmap of this article if anyone is interested: https://imgur.com/a/RnRgV
For those people that manage to get up pretty early, 4-5 in the morning, how do they cope with the weekend and what kind of weekend schedule do they have ? What time do they usually go to sleep and what is their noon daily pattern (weekday and weekends). Most importantly how do they spend their time after 7pm during workdays and weekends ?
On the weekend I often go out with friends until 1 or 2am. I'll naturally get up around 5am, but I'll just get a glass of water and go back to sleep until 9am.
Admittedly, I do go to bed very early during the week. I'm often in bed by 8pm and usually read for an hour. I try to be asleep by 930pm. If I have a date or meet friends for drinks during the week, it does throw things off.
I was going to suggest the Qbserve tracker for this --- then I saw that that's actually your app! I guess you didn't want to plug it more, but anyway -- it's really good. I really missed it when I switched to Ubuntu.
TL;DR: Basically getting up early and doing 4 hours of deep work has changed my life from really stressful and bad to really productive and nice. One thing really fundamentally helped me, as someone who works from home on a large project in an asynchronous 100% remote organization. I work on a fairly involved project that demands a lot of hard work. At the same time there are other things I want to get done: some adm…
Other people (like me) prefer to work late at night for the same reason, it also allows for a more social lifestyle (i.e. going out occasionally) than having to be in bed early.

Well actually I think people should first try getting off social media - and not just that - getting off Internet.
This is anti-advice. This is like telling depressed people to be happy or victims of violence with PTSD to 'grow a pair' and 'snap out of it'. This is the kind of simplistic, unhelpful, shaming advice that keeps mental illness taboo.

I get to the office between 6 and 6:30 in the morning and take a 30 minute lunch, so I'm out by 3 PM. This gives me several daylight hours in the afternoon before heading to bed around 8 PM to start the cycle over again.
EDIT: Not that sneaky, just me completely blanking on the sentence after the actual link! Original comment below. ---- Sneaky. I clicked around on the links he had on his tools and found one that looked interesting (Qbserve) and it turns out it's one of his products which I felt would have been nice to have as a note. The only indication of this is the bottom footer header which also says Qbserve.

> This is like telling depressed people to be happy or victims of violence with PTSD to 'grow a pair' and 'snap out of it'. It might go against the "just feed them drugs" mentality, but lots of times it totally works. They had plenty of "traumatic stress" before the 21st century, in all parts of the world -- huge wars, conflicts, disasters, even genocide. But those involved (like older friends and relatives that have…
To the contrary, I think the past generations of my family who have survived WW2 and Stalinism were, till the end of their days, heavily impaired by it. They "snapped out of it" to the degree that was required for not starving, but I would not say they had developed nearly up to their full potential.
Who works 200 hours a month? That's either five 10 hour days a week or roughly seven 7 hour days a week. My time off work is far, far too important to me to be working either of those options. It seems I value working less than other people. I'm fine with that.
> It seems I value working less than other people
I don't know anyone who works 7 days a week.
