It's hardly rebelling, it is about working when it makes sense to work, not because the clock says it is time to work.

We're just finishing up harvest here. Are you going to shut down at five because the clock says it is time to go home? Of course not. You keep going until the field is done. It might be raining in the morning. You can rest later.

I find creative and technical roles to suffer from the same limitations. You have to be in the right mindset to produce quality work. You can't always count on the clock.

Do what works for you, but if you are only doing it to please someone else, you are cheating both them and you.

You realize you are still working a clock in the field. It's called the sun.
Headlights, my friend.

The idea that farmers work by the sun must be from some place with a different climate, because around here, most of the field work is done during the late afternoon into night. Rarely does any field work get done in the morning. The conditions are often not favourable.

But if I am really tired and want to shut down for the night, I will do so. It's all up to me, not someone else.
