Do you have a block of time where you feel you’re most effective in deep work and critical thinking? That was always 4-5:30 PM for me, for others it’s first thing in the morning. Lucky to those whose blocks complements their work hours!

I presume you mean while you’re in your block

I would say 4 to 5:30 p.m. is the worst time for me. I'm usually pretty over it by that point. I think 10:30 a.m. to 12:30-1:00 p.m. is my most productive time of the day.

I know I’m the exception because I’m a night owl which makes me not a morning person!

The earlier in the day, the better usually

I try to do the creative thinking early and save the grunt work for later in the day

Early bird gets the worm that’s for sure

I usually find that late morning is my best time for focused work. I'm fully awake, had breakfast and coffee, and usually nothing disruptive has yet happened in my day. So from 10 am or so until noon I can usually just drill in on what I'm doing.

Great! I hope you are able to get focus time on your tasks in that block

For couples who are not married yet - Do you guys talk about net worth, income, or anything even finance related? I know my SO earns more given his current industry, but thinks it’s rude to talk about those things. But I’m wondering… isn’t it normal for couples who live together or are married share those info? For example - How am I going to know what to pay for our child’s education in the future etc?

Hi all - just joining and looking for some guidance!

How do I advocate myself for that to my manager without sounding unappreciative of the position I’m in?
