Whenever I control or can influence a meeting time, I find the earliest time of day I can. That way, whatever time is left in the workday, it's mine to focus on whatever project is at hand.

- ineedasername 5y agoGood point: I'm hit or miss at the end of the day: sometimes my brain is fried an hour before the end, and I need to switch to what I term "general housekeeping" tasks. Other days I'm so engrossed in a project that I have to set an alarm to make sure I leave early enough to not put all of the child care tasks on my partner, who usually gets home a bit earlier.
