I’ve never had a nine-to-five job. I feel like if you’re counting the hours of your job, you’re probably in the wrong job, right? You should love it so much you take breaks to live. I firmly believe you need the time to regenerate and to be creative. You need some downtime; that’s where the ideas come from.
I like to have time on the calendar when people can see me on the immediate team. We call those my “office hours,” and that’s always free every day for half an hour. We also try to book at least an hour where I’m not responding to email and am actually generating ideas. Then we try to keep Fridays as a time when I can listen to outside pitches and outside collaborators. It’s important because otherwise we can get in a loop of responding to each other.
