After spending what felt like a whole day at the office I wasn't really looking forward to today as yet another such day at the office. But then I realized I don't have to spend "the whole day" at the office.
First of all, as a morning owl I could start my work day early at home. Get some things done before heading to the office. Depending on my calendar if there are no morning meetings I could then head to the office and have a few hours of work there before lunch and another few afterwards. Same thing in the afternoon. Leave early and complete the day at home.
This didn't work both ways today as I had some morning meetings until lunch time so had to be there before all of them. But in the afternoon I was able to leave earlier which already made a difference. I need to start planning my office days more to support this kind of day structure.
Even though my work day was practically the same length as yesterday it did feel shorter and I had a perception of having more time in the afternoon.
