It sounds really lazy but I actually get more work done that way because when I feel like I don't "have to" it takes off the pressure and the anxiety and makes it easier to get up and do something. This is basically how I worked throughout all my university degrees, my PhD, and my work since then. It works very well for me although I have felt like a slacker the whole time. Obviously it only works if you have flexible hours. And I do have to be careful to not fall into the trap of working at nights or in the weekends too much because that leads to instability in my experience.
This is precisely how I live right now. it is really all I am able to do.I try not to judge myself.
