Salam, Ramadan Mubarak! Anyone have a good schedule to share for this Ramadan on how to manage sehri, fasting, and working consulting hours (Alhamdulilah, new to the big 4 and am also a mom to little ones). Are you guys planning to work after fajr, and crash early after isha or will you go back to sleep after fajr and work late after isha?

My organization absorbed another and the former deputy PM became a branch head - a demotion. For org was more focused on tech dev and not delivering a product on a sked. New org is very focused on that. He is not a driving leader, but is the only one with the tech knowledge needed. He is retirement eligible. He has no heir apparent - previous org didn’t plan that way. If I move him under someone who is a driver - he retires and I lose the knowledge. If I don’t, we may not meet schedules. Advice?
