I “start” at 9:30 aka I read the news and sulk til like 10:30am and then work til 8pm

likefunny

9:00 am and 3:00 pm and then sometimes evening work and then I work some on the weekend to make up the difference. But, I work for myself so it’s driven by what work has come in and what marketing/networking is needed to bring more work in.

My husband and I both work from home and his work doesn’t start until 11:00 am (11:00 am to 8:00 pm) so I try not to get started too early so as not to wake him. I pick my five year old up at 3:00 pm from kindergarten so most work activities stop at that point.

I know this is a different schedule than most. I’m not getting rich off this level of work, but I am nurturing my son.

I just stepped away from a brutal work environment that had me working 15 hour days very often. I had to reacquaint myself to my son. We were like strangers. Now we’re poor, but happy.

If I’m busy that day, I start at 7. If I’m slow, 8:30. Pre-covid, I would try to get to the office slightly before 7 on busy days because the sunrise view from my firm’s office is beautiful. I always felt like that gave me something to look forward to on an otherwise brutal day.

I mostly will start working at 5:30am, try to stop around 4, then sometimes back online from 6-8 or so after dinner and after my toddler is asleep. The think I've appreciated most about the pandemic is the ability to really lean into my own best schedule. If I have a lot of work to do, I'd rather start working at 4:30am than work until 11pm and I like having the freedom to do that.

like

In NYC, and pre-COVID around 930-10 am. Some associates started even later, but partners were in by 9 am and asking for stuff, so I tried to start on the earlier side. Post- COVID, still around 930 and finish around 8 or 9 pm.

like

8:00 am till 6:30 or so

like

Varies. Usually 9:30/10 start, lunch break, work til 5:30ish. Work out, cook, etc. and maybe 1 or 2 more hours late at night.

like

This seems sustainable

8:30ish am and usually stop around 8pm

Whenever and 6. But I mostly do phone calls and editing so can do it whenever.

I’m usually working 8:30 to 6:30 with some extra time at night if needed. I’d prefer to start later but our office requires early face time even during Covid.

A lot of busy days and juggling multiple deals so my days are frequently 9:30am-2am (in July-Sept, it was actually mostly working those or even longer hours. These days I'm feeling so exhausted and burnt out that I take a 1-3 hr break around dinner time to cook/eat with my husband, otherwise I can't cope, but then I end up having to stay up till 2 anyway - worth it for me but the sleep deprivation is real!). I can't really control this because I often get comments or questions even after 11pm that require responses and revisions by first thing next morning.

Occasionally I'll be up till 5 or 6am, then my day doesn't start till 11 unless absolutely necessary.

Corp/securities

Pre-Covid: 10am -8pm
Now: 9:00am - ???? But if I don’t have stuff going on I stop around 7

Hi Team,

Came back to school in August with a cruise ship still sitting on my stage. We walked away from Anything Goes the day after the sitzprobe because of the quarantine. Still taking the wind out of my sails.

We are here now, but not able to stage shows. Logic says, "Do a radio show!" Just not sure I want to subject the kids to the emptiness of that performance style given the Zoom life they've been living. The production of it could be fun though.

I was under the impression that NIPT was in 90th percent of certainty for Down syndrome but the result we got, labeled FirstScreen indicate 83% certainty so I’m confused if there are more results coming? I messaged the doctor but haven’t heard back yet.
