Baby Boomers Working From Home - What’s Your Schedule?
Rico at ContractWorker had an interesting post about some research on work-at-home types that got me to thinking about how our work habits differ and how different our lives can be when we get to work/rest/play according to our own body clocks, and not according to a restrictive job.
My husband just retired a couple of weeks ago, and I can see that already he has created a more pleasing schedule for his body clock. He had to be at his previous job by 7:30 a.m., and he’s not a morning person at all. Now he sleeps until about 8 a.m., exercises, and we talk a little over breakfast, before he heads to his part-time job or works at home (his choice - he gets paid either way!). He often comes home for lunch, and then stays at work until 6 or 7 p.m. This seems to suit him much better.
What about you? If you were retired or working at home, what schedule would you choose? I can’t wait to retire and figure out my schedule!

I love working from home! It used to be normal for me to wake up by 5 to get to work by 7. When I started working from my home office, I started getting up at 5:30, then it was 6, and after a while I was getting up at 6:30. Now, I’m definitely up by 7 and start working by 9. And I can go out to lunch with friends and not worry about how long I’m gone. It’s heaven!

Working from home when you own your own business is not all it’s cracked up to be. I find myself working more rather than less because it’s always here! There’s always something I could/should be doing so it’s hard to separate “work” time and “off” time. I’ve found myself working away at 2 in the morniing in my robe before!
