Rigid vs. adjustable work schedules destroyed my productivity myth

I spent 6 months trying to force a strict 9-to-5 routine and it wrecked my output. Switching to letting my energy peaks guide my hours, I knocked out twice as many client proposals in half the time. Anyone else find that strict scheduling backfires for creative work?

Aren't you describing my last year exactly? I beat myself up for months thinking I was lazy because I couldn't stick to set hours, but once I stopped fighting my natural rhythm everything just clicked. It's wild how we're told to conform to a schedule that our brains were never designed for in the first place.
