205/365 | ¥10M Job Challenge - Night Owl
I've come to realize that my focus and productivity at night are significantly better than during the day. I think it's not just because it's quieter—what really makes a difference is knowing that I won’t be interrupted during that time. Unfortunately, in the real world, most jobs still expect you to start in the morning and work through the day. It’s doable, but I always feel like my productivity barely reaches an average level. That’s why I know that once I’m able to stay in Japan long-term, I’ll definitely aim to work in a results-based setup, doing the kind of work I actually want to do. For me, having control over my own time is way more appealing than a high salary!
