I’ll Be Groggy in the Morning

Author: Jenn, Category: Work

I don’t know why exactly, but I’ve noticed that I seem to be up pretty late every Sunday evening, just like tonight (technically Monday morning by now). I’m not up just goofing off. I’m not up relaxing before a hectic work week.

I’m up, because I’ve spent the last 3 - 4 hours working.

I think I just have an aversion to busy Mondays. Can you blame me? Who wants to start a new week on a sour note with too much going on and not enough hours in the day?

So I tend to look at Monday’s work list Sunday evening, and get as much of it out of the way as possible (it helps that I tend to work most productively in the early morning and very late evening hours).

Tonight I actually cleared up all of my “required” client projects scheduled for tomorrow. If I had done the same work tomorrow, it could have taken me twice as long (everything seems to take twice as long through the afternoon hours). The good thing is that I’m waiting on final details for a few small projects, so if that comes through tomorrow I’ll be able to get on them right away. I also have a few larger projects (both for clients and for myself) that I’ll now have some unplanned time to devote to tomorrow.

I’d consider doing this every day if I didn’t need my evenings for my own non-work-related projects.

I suppose I should eventually try to sleep.

    Does ‘non-work-related projects’ stand for ‘personal life’ in the language of a PR writer!? :)

    It usually equates to ’solitary personal projects’ - working on one of my books, writing music, developing a new website (which is half-work I guess) or working on my existing ones, etc.
