I’ve noticed our team tends to hit a clear surge of activity at the same point every day where calls emails and messages all stack up at once. Some reps lean into it and stack meetings while others try to protect that time for focused work. When do you personally feel the busiest during the day and how do you manage it

For me it is usually late morning when everything seems to collide at once. I try to protect at least one block of focused time or the day becomes completely reactive.

For me its 945 till about 1pm. Then hopefully everything has calmed down and I can take care of other smaller taks

For me it's always been a ramp up to Wednesday after, then ramp down to Friday afternoon, with the odd busy "off" day here and there.

I love those slow days but only once in a while. Monday through Thursday are super busy and typically Friday is more manageable than the others

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?
