e) totally sounds like me...

I'm working on a very tight deadline for the next couple months, so most of my time and thoughts are dedicated to the project I am working on...

I'm spending less time simply vegging and more actually thinking about what I am working on... as I'm now transitioning from the planning to development phase, my thoughts start to race when I come across an issue to resolve.

This week, I was up until 4-6a a couple days, and a few others crashed when I got home at 5-7p, then up again around 3-4a. Just this morning, I'd woken up around 2a to work through a problem then back to sleep about an hour and a half later...

I'd done a bunch of reading about MVI (Model-View-Intent) as an alternative to the React.js workflow and had some ideas on how to work around a) reusable models, and b) injection and dependency declaration with a system similar to React/Flux's... though it's too late to apply this to the project I'm on, it was an interesting thought exercise.

When left to "just work" instead of being expected to be "in the office" 9-6 it's harder.. usually I'm not "really" awake until after lunch... then I can get some work done, usually pretty productive (staying late a lot till 7-8 or so), and go home to do it again... still not nearly as much as when I'm left to sleep/work as needed/ready.
