What kind of a worker are you? (kbin.melroy.org)

And what's your routine like?

I'm the kind of worker who prioritizes life over work. So that means I care about having light schedules if I know when it's suitable and if my expenses can still be met which currently, I'm in the hole on that. If I can get away with using as much PPTO/PTO/Sick days as possible, I'll do it. If I can afford to take points while balancing my expenses, I'll do that too and have done that.

I typically work nights and I like working nights in nearly all of the jobs I've been in when available. I can't stand morning and day shifts because it takes me a little longer to get warmed up during the morning and day. I actually used to have burned through mornings by sleeping through them.

But on my off days I do try to make up for some sleep at nights.

Lots of ADHD so have no real control over it. I work on what interests me. Luckily in a position where I don’t have hours or anyone who checks up on me. No schedules or planning I just run between new shiny ideas or putting out fires.

Generally end up working ~12hr days anyway. But doesn’t really feel like work because I enjoy doing the same kinda things in my spare time.

Haven’t been in an office since 2016 or so and hated every minute of it prior. Could never make it on time, opted out of the dress code, automated a lot of my work with macros and just messed around on the web.
