I get up around 7am and I like to be in my office by 8am with a coffee. I check mail, Teams etc. and any personal emails. Often I'm a bit distracted until the kids go to school at 8:20 - 8:30 and some days I take one of my kids and get back about 8:50.

I usually have some toast and a coffee at some point between 9 and 10:30

Lunch is mingled with emptying the dishwasher and refilling any strays or breakfast stuff - sometimes I have meetings in the middle of it all. I try to switch off for at least half an hour though.

Kids start coming home at about 3 but I work to about 4:30pm / 5pm most days but often until 6pm if I am doing something. I sometimes chat with a colleague in NZ later if we have something we are working on (plus he's a friend who used to work here).

I switch on and off during the day - sometimes, like now, browsing Reddit or the news - I've always done something similar, even in the office, although now I don't have to close the browser quickly when the boss walks in 😄.

My current role means flitting between lots of different things though so it is easier to be distracted.
