It's generally the case that you can't work on anything truly interesting or challenging until after 6pm anyway -9-5 gets chewed up so badly by all the bullshit, meetings, email, and noisy salespeople yelling into their phones, that the real work can't get done until everybody goes home and some peace and quiet can be obtained.
3 hours of focused work with no distractions is worth at least 3 typical work days.
- eru 11y agoJust say no to meetings. As an employee for your own calendar, and as a startup founder for the whole company.
- disgruntledphd2 11y agoI block off three mornings a week, and all day Friday for "actual work". I like to start early, and have no desire to work till 9pm (sometimes it happens, but it will be at home and because I really want to finish something). Most people are pretty accommodating (and I work with lots of very noisy salespeople).
