The last few weeks I’ve ironed out a schedule that has been working really well for me.
The main issue was finding time to go to the gym; mornings were no good because the pool is too crowded, and I also don’t like to go away in the evenings every night either, which I would need to in order to be consistent. During the competition, I was just waiting for the kids to go to bed and going at night, but now that summer is here they have later bedtimes.
What I’ve been doing lately is only going in to the office to work one (sometimes 1.5) days a week, and working the rest of the time either at home or Starbucks (mostly Starbucks, to avoid distractions). This allows me to be able to go to the gym in the middle of the day whenever I take a break for lunch, and just generally be more productive with my time (both actual work time and cutting out an hour of driving).

I truly wish nathan’s boss/job would allow him to do that. its ridiculous that it isn’t more “acceptable” for a web guy to work where he wants and just show up once or twice a week for scheduled meetings. its not like he can’t be reached by phone or email for questions or emergencies.
unfortunately my scheduled meetings are getting to be a daily thing some weeks. still, they usually fall within the twth frame.
Yeah, I could understand how it would be a bit more difficult when you are juggling multiple projects. I’m working on a contract for one specific thing, so I don’t have to do as much multitasking right now.
no time is good for me to work out -that is why I decided to go big in ‘05 and was successful!
