You work at a steady, efficient pace, mindful of the project's deadline but prioritizing accuracy over speed. After a few hours, you take a break, then return to complete the batch, performing a final quality check before submitting it. You log off in the early morning hours, satisfied with a productive night's work and a job well done, all before the morning rush hour even begins.
