    Bro, let me minister to you for a second about the wonders of going to bed early. It is so awesome. I myself used to be a night owl, staying up late, hitting the snooze button until the very last second. Then I started to get older, and felt like something was missing. So I tried something different: I tried going to bed earlier. And what will you know, I felt better! My sleep was deeper, more restorative, I didn’t feel rushed in the morning. So then I thought to myself, “well, what if I go to bed even earlier, but then also get up earlier?” You’ll never believe what happened next…

      Yes, but also, you can wake up at some stupid hour like 4am, bathe, play videogames for like 2 hours, eat a nice breakfast, and then go to work cheery

      Okay, but I’m actually a night owl, I don’t get rested if I go to sleep earlier, I’ll be more tired in the morning, regardless of how much I sleep.

      Now if I go to sleep at 5-6 AM, I don’t need a lot of sleep to feel OK the next day. But 10-12 PM? Forget about it, I’ll be groggy all day.

      Yes but when do you get freedom from your kids.

      Because those fuckers are up at 645 AM daily.

      If I go to sleep early, I start being responsible whenevee they see me, and they wake up at 645 AM. If I stay up late, then I get peace at night, and in the morning

    My boss is like that sometimes. I’d come down one Sunday morning with some kind of stomach issue. Turned on company laptop to message him that I won’t be coming in on Monday. Go to turn off the laptop again, and just as I do, there’s his message popping up wishing me speedy recovery.

    Just glad he doesn’t expect that same kind of availability of me, because that can’t be a healthy work-/life-balance.

      LPT: you can schedule messages in advance. Right click, or hold, on send to program it (usually)

      I use it to:

      • Avoid messaging my coworkers late at night.

      • Look like I am working late even though I’m not.

      • Annoy my lazy coworkers. You know the ones who ask the same questions, you’ve answered 9 times already? Answer him but set it to delay for increasingly longer time (I’m up to 4 days now). Then you can move on with my life but not leave them hanging forever.

        Avoid messaging my coworkers late at night.

        I generally don’t do that. Once I’m off work, the laptop is shut and work profile on my phone is turned off. The second I step out of the building, I’m no longer having work-related conversations.

        That’s not just personal work-life ethic, it’s the explicit policy my boss laid out. He just doesn’t stick to it himself.
