I'd like to emphasize the first point. For about six months, I woke up at 4am Monday of every other week to catch a plane to another city to start work at 9am till 6pm. I would not only get everything ready to pack in the morning, but I'd leave notes throughout the apartment listing what I needed to do before leaving, things like "take this or that item", "turn the power off", etc. I'd put the notes on door handles, to the toilet, main entry door and the only way I could forget something was if I had a stroke and couldn't read.
So as parent said, it was "brainless peace and harmony" all the way to the airport.
- wahnfrieden 11y agoJust curious, what sort of work situation led to that arrangement?
- oxplot 11y agoIt was a contract and I didn't want to move so it was agreed that I work one week remotely and one week onsite every fortnight.
- ljf 11y agoSimilar, I had to get up just before 5 each Monday to drive to London, to spend some of the week working there. It was easy when everything was easy... When my clothes were laid out, when the car was full of diesel, when even my coffee was ready, just needed to boil the kettle. On those days it was really simple to just get up shower dress and leave and before I knew it the 3 hour drive was over and I was getting on a tube to work ready for some London time. But if anything tiny thing was left to be done in the morning, that I would tell myself wouldn't take 2 minutes, it always seemed to take 20.
