I’m working full time hours for The Written Word, Inc. since last week. Of course, I’m remote, so I have to get up in the morning and get myself into the home office, then work for 8 hours or more. Getting up and into the office is not so hard, but I have been getting out of bed a bit too late, starting work at 9am is not early enough, should be at it by 8 if I want to finish at a reasonable time.
Another problem is of course, slacking. I can not report time spent reading slashdot or RangerRick’s Blog or time spend reading/responding to personal mail or slacking on irc as hours worked. Well, I could, I suppose, but I’m a bit too honest to do that. So got to give up on those persuits until evening 
Tomorrow, will try and start at 8:30! Wish me luck.
Update: Well, did a little better, made it for 8:45.
I
havehad the same problem until a few months ago, and wrote about it most recently at my blog. I’m not looking forward to my 5/5 review… I’ve been getting up rather late myself for the last couple of weeksIn theory, I work Monday to Wednesday from 7am to 6pm, with a half an hour for lunch and a couple of 15 minute breaks for tea, which would give me 4 days off if I wasn’t also writing a book, keeping a blog, and providing teaching or speaking appointments most months. I have another post on time management in the pipeline for this coming weekend you might enjoy…
