How early are you logging into work? I usually start my day around 8:30 to get ahead. But curious what others do!

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.

Under contract for nearly 1.1M. Wife and I are at HHI $315k. Will go up in the future, $400k in 3 years and $500k possible in 5-7 years. We have $300k in non-retirement funds, $260k of which will go towards acquiring the house. We have 2 kids and will probably reduce (not maxing) retirement accounts next 18 months to do this. Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?

15 YOE, recently started my first tech PR job at a large, stable company & have been asked to get ~20 SMEs in front of media. Subject matter is not sexy. I lead PR for all of U.S. & have no other PR colleagues. My agency’s budget is 100k/year & they’re spread too thin to hit their KPIs. I feel set up to fail & feel we should be focusing on a handful of SMEs and only our sexiest topics. Any advice on mitigating unrealistic expectations for coverage? Anyone handled similar problems in the past?
