Roll out of bed around 6:30, log into my computer, make some coffee, hang out with my wife a bit before she leaves for work, I'm usually checking emails on my phone during this time. I'm also available by Teams on my phone at any time. After she leaves I go back to my computer in my "office" (also know as our second living room), turn on my tv and log into my client. TD is spread out during the day, I'm usually available at all times, if I'm not going to be available I usually let at least 1 of my team members know so that stuff gets covered if needed.

I work constantly from 7:30 to 5 every day. I get dressed and stay in my office for the most part.

that would suck...even on Fridays?
Agreed. I have a weekly meeting with my boss, but she's also a really good friend so a lot of the time our meeting is canceled and we'll just chat at some other time during the week when neither of us are busy. We also have a all hands on deck type of meeting once every other week. Other than that, no real check-ins, but we are on Teams so I guess that's sort of a "check-in" type thing.

We had a bunch of push back once we started using Teams. Strangely enough, the majority of the pushback came from the laziest people in our department.

Odd huh?

I have a library that looks similar to when chicken posts selfies (not the pool ones though)

I know that I've realized this past year that most of my clothes are dress or business casual. Most of my shoes are dusty and I put 4k miles on my truck last year.

My metabolism is on crack from first sip of caffeine until 2PM. I could skip dinner every night.

Yes, and yes it does.

And for some reason the Friday ones seem to last the longest.

I bought a new truck a week before the shutdown last March...it had 5k miles on it...it was a demo. .

I checked yesterday and I have 36k miles.... I couldn't believe I put that many miles on it in almost a year...during a pandemic shutdown

And I've been working from home more than I ever have in 21 years.

I put 26k on my vehicle my first year working. Since I started working from home about 10 years ago, I've put a total of 60k miles on it.

There are some Fridays at 4pm that I'm either hunting or fishing or not in any kind of position to do a video call with co-workers

I get fully dressed, always have shoes on, sometimes wear shorts with just a Polo shirt since i'm on a teams meetings 40-50% of the time.

04:00AM - Breakfast
04:30AM - Gym (Lift)
06:00AM - Meal 2
06:15AM - Bath/Shower
06:45AM - Log in for work
09:00AM - Meal 3
12:00PM - Meal 4
03:00PM - Meal 5
05:00PM - Wrap the work day off
06:00PM - Gym (Cardio)
07:00PM - Meal 6 in bath
Try to be in bed by 09:00PM

On Tuesdays and Thursdays BJJ. Play with Nymeria between routine tasks.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME IS KEEPING A SCHEDULE, even on weekends. You sync your-self up with a work-schedule since you need to self-motivate every day, no one else around to push you during those "lag days".

Edt: Will post pic later.

I only work from home once a week now, but I’m usually dressed at at my laptop by 7. Don’t have to be, but I like to get my work done early so I can frick off the rest of the day. No checking in with boss. I know what’s in my bucket and when things are due, and get it knocked out as quickly as I can. Take the dog for a walk at some point in the day, and usually call it a day around 2 or 3.
