[QUOTE="Chill-E, post: 12790, member: 5278"] Hi [USER=8339]@bluelyn[/USER] . I WFH majority of times and not being present doesn't lower the demand . Yes if stuff comes in mid-late afternoon - I will say I will look in the morning. I start around 7 (I do around 2 hours work focused without changing my status to "online") and by 3pm my cognitive battery is flat, so understand what you say. So finding something that suits you - in terms of hours is one aspect. My productivity drops to about 1/3rd if i'm in the office - I have an adjustment saying requirement to attend the office should be minimised. So maybe look for hybrid /remote roles if they suit what you want. you may find roles where 9-5 is less restrictive, so your preferred hours and your high output in those hours are a positive. I understand what you say about your productivity- I have performance anxiety which can show up as different things including trying and doing more that others, this is linked to the burnout cycle, pushing through proving to ourselves first especially when demands are raised, we don't like to raise the flag on our struggles. I'm finding this a tricky area to deal with at work [/QUOTE]
