For the past 4 weeks, I have been doing night shift. In the beginning, it was difficult to cope with it. Especially whenever there were escalations, as a team lead, I was called to the office thereby making my working hours more than 15 hrs a day.

But then as days went by, I found that it is better to come in the night. There are definitely advantages. There are not lot many people in the night, in fact out of around 100 people in the project, only 5 come in the night. So it is quite calm and you are left to do your work in peace. (Of course there is a danger of falling asleep). But most importantly I can skip those scores of unproductive meetings. This for me is a major relief.

But from Monday, I will be back to day shift.
