Using an anonymous account intentionally. Working normal business hours sounds nice but NOT REMOTELY a possibility where I work. Being intentionally secretive, I work at one of the desired hot/unicorn startups in SF. Employees are non-verbally expected to live/eat/work at the office (9-8). If a new hire were to start clocking out at 5, they would not last long.<p>What I and many of my peers do is split up the day with a long break in the middle. We'll commonly go for a 1-1.5hr run in the middle of the day along Embarcadero to try to obtain the best of both worlds, not losing our equity and staying healthy.
> At Matter, I’m building a team that shares the same work and lifestyle ethics that I do. This means that we begin our day at 9am, work normal business hours (with a break for a walk when we need it!), then head home between 5pm and 6pm to recharge.<p>I know not hiring night owls was mentioned, but I feel like this isn't the way to go. Even in startups one can make a ton of the communication async.<p>I know that my mind doesn't work 9-5, it's much more chunked and a good bit of that late. If I try to force it, I end up working in the evening to make up for low productivity.
Beautiful, really appreciate the data-driven approach vs the short-term fad diets.<p>You should really have recommended your nutritionist if they were so instrumental.
