Your Schedule

[robertbanking]

Hello you wonderful people, i do hope that you have had a great start to another week. It seems to be becoming dull again here in the UK.

I am trying to optimise my routine as much as possible when working from home. I usually start in the morning about 9.15am and work until about 4pm, having a break for lunch. Then i resume work again at about 8pm - 10pm after a walk and go to bed about 12.30am. I kindly wondered please if you could share your schedule, what time you wake up, your working hours and what time you go to bed, further what other activities you do. I am just experimenting with my routine and trying to find out when i am the most productive and if i can make any changes.

Thank you very much for any support you can give, i would be very thankful. Take care and i hope you are all doing well.

Up at 6, breakfast, then work until about 10am. Eat when I’m hungry and go to bed when I’m tired. Afternoon naps where necessary.

Up at 6:30am when the kids are at school, otherwise sometime before 11 am

Go for a walk and feed the ducks until 10 am, go and buy food at 10:30. Brunch at 11 am, start work at 11:30ish.

Finish when it's done, sleep at night.

11:00 food and a nap
12:30 sent an email, made a phone call
3:00 playing golf
7:30 playing tennis
9:00 beer, food then sleep

Tomorrow will be much the same, tennis is in the morning for a change!

Why does it matter what works for others? You need to establish what works for you

With chaos of last 2-3 years I've worked more but typically do 50 hours a week spread over 6 days (like my Sundays off). I don't like to work particularly long days so prefer to get those hours in over 6 days as opposed to 5 and having a full weekend off, 9 hour days are the cliff edge of productivity for me so unless essential I wouldn't go above that. Generally 8am-5pm and start before or work late if needs be.

Up at 7.30, 8.20, 8.30 or 9am. Turn computer on, check emails, have a cuppa. Catch up on the news, TV or online. Have breakfast, make a couple of personal calls, shower, get dressed, about 10am by now. Browse UK Business Forums

The rest of the day answering calls, emails etc., browsing social media (part of the job) until anytime in the evening into the night (like right now at 11.37pm).
Some days there is plenty of time to do what I want to do, others not so. I don't follow a rigid schedule which isn't for everyone but I've always disliked clock watching so it works for me.

My working from home routine always involved waking at 6.30, but work started depending on workload, sometimes 8.30, sometimes later, and the only regular activity was me cooking for my wife who works in what she calls a proper job, where her hours are fixed. After food, I would go back to work, and bed usually between 10 and 1, again depending on workload and deadlines. When lockdown eased, I travel to my other location, do work there, come back home and often go back again multiple times as I have become more flexible. If I’m at home and hit a bottleneck, I drive to the studio, do maybe an hour or two, and then carry on at home. It’s made me far more productive, but also spread my workload over seven days, not five or six. The day and times don’t matter any more. I work when I need to.

Despite theoretically being able to work at any time, my customers/connections tend to revolve around conventional 9-5.

I get up when I wake up today 6.30, tomorrow could be 8.30, fire up the computer machine, do morning stuff and crack on for a couple of hours

Dog demands a walk at 11.00.

Afternoon - just depends what the morning has brought, and what I want to get done.

But, as @Newchodge has said, my routine is almost certainly unrelated to your circumstances

I normally rock up at the office around 9

But I don't worry if it is earlier or later than that.

And quite often, I am working whilst moving around, and there is much less routine!

I manage the achievement of deadlines. That might mean working 12 hours today. And 3 tomorrow. I avoid working unless I actually have something to do.

I get up around lunchtime, but I like to have a lie in at weekends.
