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

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

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

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".

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.

No job?

Or is this just a weekend routine?

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

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

[–] SpaceNoodle 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Depends on the organization.

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.)

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)

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.

I like organization... but I hate routines.

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

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?"
