| > getting started is the HARDEST part of the day for me. For you, yes. But remember not everyone is a night owl, nor is everyone an early bird. I start work at 930am, we have our stand up, then I warm up with 30-45 mins of coffee, reading some techy stuff etc, and then I'm ready to roll. > why wait until tomorrow? Because it's the end of the "working day"() and my mind isn't at its peak performance. > I'm imagining the HR person saying, "It will only take a few minutes to fix this for you, so I'm going to wait until tomorrow". Examples are endless. A whole heap of things aren't that time critical at the end of the working day. If I've had a problem with my salary or some revision to my contract it can wait until the morning. But if you want to go ahead and knock yourself out with another 2-4 hours of work on top of your working day (and contractually obligated hours) then beware of burnout. Pace yourself. depending on when you start your working day, which doesn't need to be 9am. Personally I used to start at 10am because of flexitime and work on until maybe 7pm or until there's at natural cut off |
