> Some days I forget to eat lunch, and I usually end up naturally coming out of it after about 7 hours

I used to be like this myself. In the last few years, alas, I realized that this behavior was unhealthy for my physical body. Just a word of caution. What your mind prefers to do is not necessarily the best for your entire self.

I only end up getting days like this a handful of times per year, due to all the meetings. Since it’s not an everyday thing, I find the boost I get from actually getting something done far outweighs having a late lunch. I can go from being in a pretty deep depression to having actual hope and some pride in my work.

The last time I had one of these days I finished every user story I had in one day. These stories had been carried over for multiple sprints, I just couldn’t get the time. I was feeling really bad about them hanging out there for so long, like a failure. Finishing them all felt great and showed me that it wasn’t me, it was the company culture causing most of my issues. I’m actually in dire need of another one of these days.
