He explicitly says in the article that he arrives at his office by 6am.
That said, I suspect he doesn't have a 1.5 hr commute like many do (and I used to have, at times). Working from home does indeed provide a tremendous advantage, particularly with those quiet early morning hours.
- wolco 8y agoGetting to work by 6am usually means he drove without many cars on the road.
- erinnh 8y agoThis is specifically the reason why I changed from a person that got in barely at 10am to somebody that comes in at 6am. Way less traffic and that cuts my commute down by half. (1hour to 30 min) And I found I actually like 2-3 hours of no distractions at the beginning of the day. When I came in at 10am, it was 0-100 almost immediately because somebody always wanted something. Took me a good month though to actually learn to go to sleep before 11pm. Originally whenever I slept before 11pm, even if I was dead tired, I would wake up at 2-3 am and not be able to sleep again.
- slededit 8y agoIf you had pushed it just a little bit farther to 11am you would have been commuting in the daytime lull and had the same benefits.
- cimmanom 8y agoProbably depends on where you live/work. My experience is that the roads go from empty to busy around 6:30 and start to get seriously clogged around 7:15. They're worst 8:15 - 9:30, but 11-2:30 is pretty similar to 7:45, partly because of double-parked trucks everywhere.
- erinnh 8y agoNot possible with my employer. 10am is the latest I am allowed to arrive. And to be honest, I already hated being in office at 8pm some times, so being out from work at 3/4pm is also a plus in my book.
- mykowebhn 8y agoSounds like the key to a productive, quiet morning is to work from home, or get up at 4:30am in order to avoid traffic and get to work by 6am. I think I prefer the former.
