That's how I organized my work in grad school. I basically worked when I felt like it. Some weeks that was 80 hours, others just 20, following the natural flow of my motivation. I went for errands in the middle of the day, took time to cook, parties, but also worked late nights and weekends when it felt right. I slept on a shitty futon and ate a lot of ramen noodles, but it sure felt nice to be able to work at my own pace and sleep as much as I needed, yet still manage to publish more than anyone else in my lab.
