      I work around 7-9 hours a day depending of how much there is to do. Sometimes if I’m having a bad day, when nothing is working, I’ll take a good hour break and read something or even go for a walk with music to help clear my thoughts. Recently I’ve started practicing mindfulness which is surprisingly helpful 🙂

      Sometimes it feels like 24 hours a day!

      I tend to arrive about 9.30, and leave between 4.30-5 normally. I do come in on weekends very couple of weeks, but only for a few hours at a time, so it isn’t too bad! I’ll have 30-60 minutes for lunch, depending on how busy I am, and a coffee break in the morning (but I normally have that at my desk and am writing or reading at the same time..)

      I will do some things at home too, experimental planning or reading research articles/writing my own etc..so probably about 8/9 hours a day I’d say normally. Its like a normal job, so if you treat it that way, you won’t get sidetracked and underperform!

      Hi Better run from Shia Labeouf (why though?),

      My days are packed with things to do, but I tend to work from 8-6pm. Sometimes, if I don’t have a lot in my plate, I can do the 10-3pm or something like that. Generally I don’t feel like I’ve worked for so many hours, time just flies!

      I work around 36.5 hours a week.
      I start at 8h30 and finish at 5pm but on Fridays I get to leave at 13h00, which is great to start the weekend!

      Hi BetterrunfromShiaLabeouf,

      I usually get to work around 08:30 and leave around 6pm. Most of the time I feel like a blink and my day is finished and then I blink again and it’s the weekend… I guess that’s because I enjoy what I do 🙂

      Typically I don’t work at the weekend because I think it’s important to switch off and spend time away from work.

      That all depends on the day, usually around 8 hours or so, sometimes shorter sometimes longer, it just depends on how much needs to be done that day.
