Absolutely agree with the premise and as someone that's currently living this reality, I'd say that time management is so underrated.
As freelancers or solo operators we could absolutely wake up at all hours, and choose to work when everyone else is playing, but I've found that keeping relatively 'normal' schedule is the difference between seeing friends, meeting people, laughing, learning; and being down in the loneliness dumps.
It's a real issue that I'm glad you've written about, Todd! Looking forward to more :)
