I’m a bit like Bender. I can only do 1 thing in a day, big or small. So an easy meeting that takes an hour uses up my day just as much as a 10 hour heavy lift writing an essay. So I’m most productive when I have a series of day-sized things to do.

This is a Bender trait in the show. He can do huge things but only 1 at a time. He usually dies only a single significant positive plot level thing per episode. The rest of it is either causing problems or goofing off.

Bender economics is like Edmond Dantes’ prison for enemies in Count of Monte Cristo. Everything costs the same: piece of bread and fancy chicken dinner both cost 100,000 francs

It’s like spoon theory. Only 1 spoon per day for work but it can be very big or trivial. If you accidentally waste it on trivial you’re done.

Replying to and
I actually think this is what peak performance looks like, depending on contingent person/environment fit. Iceberg theory of optimal doing. Sometimes it takes 24 hrs of prep to tighten one screw, but if tightening that screw was right thing to do then that's 24 hrs well spent.
