In reality, most people are working core hours, say 10am-3pm local time. Most are in UTC +/- 2 hours. I’m an outlier, remote from B.C, Canada.

It’s usually best to stick with a “normal schedule” for family/socializing reasons, anyway.

But, it’s incredibly freeing, being able to work when the mood strikes. I used to be a night-owl, often getting super creative in the evenings. I could force myself to bed, sure, but a 3-4 hour stint in the evening would regularly produced outsized returns. 8-9am+ couldn’t remotely compete, creativity-wise, so why force it? Build a culture around trust and impact, it works out a lot better than anything else I’ve seen in practice.

I rarely do late nights anymore, having transitioned to 6-7am starts, an hour or two hiking around lunch with the dogs, and a small handful of hours of wrapping up & planning for tomorrow. But that was all my choice :)
