It's complicated and really based on what kind of work has the highest priority -and my role in the work being done. Due to the nature of these roles I obviously can't do all of these things every day for any sustained period of time -although I've tried a few times...
Heavy lifting and programming: 11pm-5am
e.g. things that require exclusive attention.
Frequency: often -even if I have meetings the next day
Preference: Preferred -I'm a night owl.
Efficiency: Medium / High -I will often pursue some exploratory and reflective endeavors during this time.
Business issues and management: 10am-6pm
e.g. managing and coordinating via meetings and correspondence.
Frequency: 1-5 days per week (when working in that role)
Preference: Moderate -It's part of the job and necessary.
Efficiency: High -I want to get the business stuff done so I can get back to producing / creating stuff.
Social-political mixing (work related) 6pm-11pm
e.g. work related "off-hours" relationship building
Frequency: rare
Preference: Low -Political relationships are only a necessary evil.
Efficiency: Medium -If I'm going to be away from doing actual work I try to make these interactions as meaningful as possible.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
