[quote=Anonymous]I work a lot but examining my time for real, I never really work more than say 35 hours per week. Yes, pre pandemic, there was work that was spent at the water cooler, reorganizing things in my office, clicking away from what I was writing etc. Now that much is on zoom I might be “in” a meeting and maybe I’m really working because I am actually answer an email, but maybe I’m actually zoning out.  I can also either work early in the morning or later at night but realistically as I get older, I only really focus between 10-6 unless there is extreme pressure.

Those of you who really believe you are *productive* for many hours a day, not just at work physically, how do you do it?  Any tips?

For the record, I got two degrees from a HYP, a PhD and am broadly considered very successful by my peers.  So I do work.  But I feel like others must be working harder and I think they are — they produce more work by volume than I do, I think,  and I always feel like I am scrambling to meet deadlines or mulling that I should be working when I am not.[/quote]
