I try to sleep 11pm-7am. Not gonna lie, 11pm is sometimes 11:30, sometimes 1am. Don't insist on the "rules" you set for yourself, look for the results :) I am

I am in tech, for the next couple years I feel secure I will have a job. If my employer would want me in the office, I'd quit so that I can work somewhere where they don't want me in the office. I deliver more than the average, but I also spend less time on commute than the average.
Don't go back to the office, that's my suggestion. YOLO, wasting time at the water cooler is stupid in my eyes. I do meet friends almost daily during summer, I have a ton of time for myself, and let's be honest, if I fail only half of my own list on a given day, I still did more for my well being than most of my colleagues.
And you know what: I DO "fail" the schedule, quite often. :)
- srbhr 3y agoOkay your insights are really awesome, as someone who takes their work too seriously I think, I should focus on my health and some tips you've provided are really amazing. Thanks kmarc, SDEs need more advice (on diverse topics) like yours.
- kmarc 3y agoIf it makes you feel better, I also do take work sometimes too seriously. Then I'm unsatisfied, then I tableflip and find something else. Not great. You ask me in ten years, probably still will be nowhere on my "IT career". I focus rather on the non-IT "career". As I said, YMMV... Also, take internet strangers' opinions with a grain of salt. Let us know here next year, what form of exercise you picked up. Enjoy the ride ;)
- srbhr 3y agoYes, thanks a lot.
