Personal suggestion from my experience: try executing those plans at night while you are motivated (in moderation and within reason).

I have a day job too, but if you know you’re lacking energy and motivation during the day anyway what can it hurt staying up too late every now and then in order to accomplish some things?

Just be careful not to over do it, I gave in too hard to the “who needs sleep thing” a few times and it could’ve definitely fucked me.

I personally think one or two weekday/work nights with 4 hours of sleep is worth getting some things done. Also if there’s some clutch things to be done I’ll just not sleep Friday or Saturday night, but be aware things like your driving ability WILL be negatively affected.

I wish I could make my own funky weekly sleep/work schedule and my employer be cool with it lol
