I was pretty great when working a blue-collar industrial job. I'd work 6:30-5 (unpaid half hour lunch) monday-thursday one week, then tuesday-friday the next. So you'd get a four-day weekend every other week, and if there was extra work, you'd get time-and-a-half for it. A ten hour day wasn't bad, because you went until 9, had a half hour break, went to noon, ate lunch, went until 3 and had another break, then closed out the day until 5. It was almost an extended pomodoro. Even now, programming on salary, I'd rather do 4 tens, 7-5. The overhead of commuting is what kills me, and it'd actually be less traffic if I went in earlier. Besides, those two hours before everybody else gets there could be more productive than the whole rest of the day. |

Even a short commute just kills me. This is why WFH is so effective IMO. Up between 5am and 6am. Workout, then work. Those few hours in the morning before anyone else gets in is when I do most of my 'work' for the day. The rest of the day is meetings, answering questions, etc...
