9 pm, house quiet, laptop open again :D

9 pm. Dishes done, homework checked, little one finally asleep after the third glass of water and "one more question, mum" :D

And what do I do? Open the laptop. Of course.

I call it my second shift. No calls, no meetings, nobody needs me for anything. Some of my best ideas happen there... and some of my worst decisions too LOL

Because tired me at 11 pm thinks every email needs an answer right now. It doesn't. Morning me is much nicer to clients and much better with numbers 😅

So now I try one rule. The second shift is for thinking, not for sending. I write, I plan, I leave drafts. Then I press send after breakfast.

Nobody ever complained that my reply came at 8:30 and not at 23:47.

Who else is on the 9 pm shift tonight? 🙋‍♀️
