Industrial Revolution Work Standards and Fluid Working Hours
The traditional 9-to-5 workday is identified as a construct of the Industrial Revolution that often leads to unproductive "faffing" for the self-employed. Modern productivity strategies suggest a more fluid relationship with time, such as taking long lunch breaks or working at 5:00 AM to allow for leisure activities like watching RuPaul's Drag Race in the afternoon. Success in self-employment involves designing schedules around personal energy levels rather than rigid societal expectations.
