Robe Schedule

A particularly work schedule defined by a high degree of remote/telecommuting, flex time, and having considerably fewer working hours than the universally accepted 40-hour work week. The name comes from workers generally wearing (bath) robes during their working hours, since they're often conducting business from home.

Popularized mostly by developers, writers, and other professionals who are able to work remotely and do not require to be physically present in order to do their jobs, and who also generally produce no more than 4-5 hours of creative work per day.

Famous examples of people on the Robe Schedule include: Stephen King, Hugh Hefner, Tim Ferris, and several others.
Edward's performance has clearly improved since hopping on a robe schedule last year.
