I usually check my phone and email around 6:30 am just to see if there's anything I need to know, and to check news alerts from Europe. But assuming there's nothing I need to deal with right away, I'm not actually starting my day's work until around 9 am. But even that can vary, if there's something I need to edit or write and a deadline is approaching, I may just get working around 7:30 am.
Interesting! Are you a morning person? I so wish I could logon early to knock things out (especially because I find it hard to focus when being inundated with emails and slacks later in the day) but just can’t get up early enough to do it
I log in right at 9, sometimes 9:05, and I don’t feel bad about it. If we’re expected to be online after hours too, I’m not starting early just to feel productive. Do you think early log-ins are really about productivity, or pressure?
Dentsu 1 - same! Doesn’t matter how much I block my time, I get pulled into so many random (and unnecessary) meetings. I’m trying so hard to push back on that, but it’s tough. Plus the constant stream of emails and messages. Hard to find time to focus during working hours!
8 most mornings. I start by sorting through my inbox over a cup of coffee. Once I've gotten through everything, I'll get into my real work and prep for any meetings I have coming up that day.
I start my commute at 8:30am and get into the office by 9:45am. I’m checking emails and if I have anything major to get out the door, I’ll do it while commuting but otherwise I don’t sign on early but work late a lot so it balances out.
I love that! No reason to log on early when you’re also online late
It is rare that I start prior to 9am. That said... I'll work well into the evening as my time to get ahead. But I tend to be a night owl.
