[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just made a switch like this. There are some nice things about it, but I feel a little more stressed at work because the day is short and I feel like I spend less time absorbed in the flow of work and more time transitioning in or out. I wanted to spend more time with dc, but I'm not enjoying the afternoons as much as I expected because the kids are tired and need a lot of structure and there is almost always some email to return or something to finish up for work. I like not having to leave as early in the morning but I also miss having longer uninterrupted stretches in the office. It's definitely not a bad schedule but I feel like I could be using it better. FWIW, last year I went from 22 to 30 hrs, and that was a huge change, much bigger than I expected. 22 hrs was great, and 30 felt like full time without the FT salary or benefits. [/quote]

OP here: How long ago did you switch? I'm wondering how long an adjustment period to expect.

The good part for me is that my co-workers seem to come in to work in waves. So, there are people who van pool that come in around 6AM and leave around 2:30PM and then people who work more like 9:30AM - 6PM, so the hours people are there at the same time are limited to mostly the hours I'd work. Meetings are usually not scheduled before 8:30AM or after 3PM. I am going from around 24-27 hours (depending on the week) to 30 hours. I think the worst part for me will be the commuting.[/quote]
