That's a psychopath's handwriting.

[-] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 months ago

Sounds horrible. Here's mine:

  • Stand up when woken up and feeling like it.
  • look into my wife's cute face.
  • we make food, watch star trek, drink tea
  • decide how and where we're gonna spend the day. Gaming? Binging? Pool? Museum? Zoo? Just driving around with no goal? Shopping-tour? Visit some city? Some voluntary work to help those less fortunate? Doing absolutely nothing?
  • end the day in peace whenever we feel like it.

Oh yes. No kids, no pets.

Oh yes. No kids, no pets.

No job?

Or is this just a weekend routine?

By 10am? You reach 10am by step 4.

Also number 7 contradicts 4. Phone calls can be meetings. But what do I know.

[-] ricecake@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 months ago

Those are X in boxes next to those in step four. I believe they're saying "no phone calls, no emails and no dealing with notifications".

Imagine a cup of coffee being all you look forward to.

I keep reading work as worm.

3 hours of deep worm.

every great accomplishment happens in the mornings if you're only ever awake during the mornings.

[-] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

There is no way that 99% of meetings are a waste of time. Like, many 70%, tops.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Depends on the organization.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

[-] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ah right, a walk around nature! Because I have so much nature around me!

(Also, I'd prefer to get meetings and impromptu requests from colleagues in the morning, because I tend to get way in the zone around 14h-15h, with the drawback that I often run way in excess of 17h when I'm supposed to leave so I'm home by ~1815.)

Cool, I don’t have meetings at my day job and I’m on the phone helping people through my entire day. If I worked for only three hours I might get sacked.

I don’t know who this person is, but I’m not sure they have a job.

The waiting 90 min for caffeine part is actually based on decent scientific evidence, but it's so damn hard.

Apparently the logic behind is that sleep neurotransmitters take a while to flush out in the morning, but drinking caffeine stops the flushing process and leaves you with leftover ones in your system. So as soon as the coffee wears off, you're way more likely to really crash.

I've tried to implement that habit, but ended up falling asleep at my work desk basically every day 🤷 (Although my doctor also says he's about 80% sure I have Narcolepsy, so that might have something to do with that)

Can you cite a study?

It seems like a very common misconception that is maybe somewhat correlated, but causality hasn't been found as far as I could find. Probably one of those things that are hawked by "wellness influencers" and "hack your life" youtubers without actual evidence.

I like organization... but I hate routines.

[-] MadBob@feddit.nl 5 points 2 months ago

This man's colleague when he's just wasted three hours doing work he didn't have to: "but I sent you an email three hours ago about it?"

[-] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

"No meetings before 2pm (when the eastern hemisphere people are going to sleep)" that'll go over well.

And here's mine:

  • 6:30 am - wake up due to 4yo kicking or whatever
  • 7 - clean up the kitchen a bit
  • 7:30 - make breakfast and lunch for myself and kids
  • 8:15 - drive kids to school (we decided on a charter school, so no bus service)
  • 9:15 - get to work and refill my water bottle and whatnot
  • 9:30-11 - morning meetings
  • 11-12 - pretend like I'm working/check email/etc
  • 12-1 - lunch
  • 1-3 - work on my tasks for the day
  • 3-5 - fix something that went wrong, because something always goes wrong just before I go home
  • 5-6 - drive home (would take 30 min w/o traffic, but here we are)
  • 6-7 - make dinner or clean up house
  • 7-9 - get kids ready for bed (takes forever because they're really looking for time w/ me)
  • 9-10 - do adult stuff, like paying bills or shopping for birthdays/christmas stuff; maybe take a walk w/ SO; if the stars align, read a book or play video games

So yeah, that's me. I get about as much done in those 2 hours of actual work as many of my coworkers get, so I think I'm doing alright.

Here's an alternative schedule when I WFH:

  • 6:30-8:45 - same as above, just w/o commute
  • 10-12 - do work (we have fewer meetings on WFH days
  • 12-1 - get some exercise in my garage (kids are at school)
  • 1-3 - do more work while eating lunch
  • 3-5 - play video games or something in my home office (I've already done 2x the work I normally do)
  • 5-6 - make dinner or clean up house
  • 6-8 - hang out with family
  • 8-8:30 - get kids ready for bed (much easier since I can work the bedtime routine in the "hang out" part)
  • 8:30-10 - same as above, but I have an extra 30 min (hooray!!)

So yeah, most of what the OP posted cannot apply to me, but I get a similar amount of work done.
