    My biggest criticism is that I'm not really the one who sets my meeting schedule, even when I'm the one who sends the invite. Unless your entire company has a "no meetings until 2pm" policy this isn't really doable. Especially if you work with people in multiple time zones.

    I only got to institute this when I started working for myself. It took me a year or two to realise. For all clients or all agencies I sub for I have a strict no meetings before 930am rule. I haven't told anyone why - my calendar is just blocked out so each probably individually thinks I have some recurring appointment with another client. Nup. I'm in bed drinking my coffee. I'm a shit sleeper, if I manage at all. I spent decades working to the early birds' schedule. Fuck that.

    But it is a privilege and very few can achieve that working in a company. It's gross to suggest to people they can just do it. I know my situation is niche. To suggest otherwise is arrogant and ignorant.

    A lot of these LinkedIn lunatic posts are absurd. This one seems totally reasonable, healthy, and leaves plenty of time for hobbies and family/friends.

    Minus the meeting time restriction. Dunno how you manage that unless you're the owner of the company.
