It started at an internship like 15 years ago when i realized I could do the work a lot faster than expected
Still doing it now. I ease into the day – I may browse my emails, get files opened, check socials and news and get my personal admin tasks done…you know warm up for about 4 hours and THEN . At noon, I blast off into a hyper efficient work grind because I know my relax time is up but im also ready af to work then
If I start to work too hard before noon I will deliberately drop the task and say whoaa whoa not time yet . Otherwise how in gods name are we making it through until actual 5?!
This started as a corporate f-you move but I realize I do this every place I’ve worked & I still rose up the ranks
Don’t work too hard out there or you’ll die
( may be I’m like this cause one of my first bosses killed themself )
xoxo have a balanced day

That “don’t even look at me before noon” energy is so real it hurts

I do this too.
Do you happen to work for New York City civil service?
Come on time leave on time and take your time
Honestly, that’s kind of genius, saving your energy for when it actually matters instead of burning out early. Work’s gonna take what it wants either way, so might as well protect your peace where you can.
You can only do this at an office job. Imagine being in production with this work ethic.
I think this is kind of a normal way to be. A lot of people blow off hours of their work day.
I don’t know how you do it, but I respect fucking over corporate.
