How long are you typically on the phone each day? My phone time has steadily increased throughout the pandemic to around 6 hours per day

All day. It’s planning season.

I finish one deck and while it’s being presented, I’m already working on the next 🥲

I actually ran the numbers last year. In the early months of the pandemic my meeting time tripled. By around this time last year (when I was still 100% WFH) it was running at between 20-100% more each month than I'd logged in the same respective months of 2017-2019.

A year later, it still feels higher than in-office, but equally now when I do go into the office I often have meetings for a fair chunk of the day, so my in-office days don't reflect the rest of the week that well.

does it spark joy?

Inspired by one of my kids' favorite books, I penned this masterpiece of an Ode to Consulting:

One senior partner all alone
Calls two managing directors on the phone
Three associate partners at the door
Bring along another four
Five senior managers come overdressed
Six managers show up with a guest
Seven senior consultants arrive in a sack
Eight associates sneak in the back
Nine analysts come to work
ALL THE CONSULTANTS GO BERSERK!!!

Ok, I'll show myself out now... 😂
