Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I'm not too fussed about work/personal life separation, especially after hybrid working has become the norm, and since my role hasn't been "mission critical" for a while now, which means I normally don't get after-hours calls or emails.

But on the rare occasion I do get a work mail after-hours, I might read it if I'm free. Or even action it, if it can help me prepare for the next day (like say I need to do some research on a new product/topic). The way I look at this is, if I spend x minutes doing work stuff outside of work, then I'm gonna spend x minutes on personal stuff during work hours. Overall, I try to maintain a flexible "8hrs of work in a 24hr period" policy, instead of a "my work is strictly between 9-5" type thinking.

What I do mind however, is spam. And that means receiving unwanted, non-work, or even non-role related emails in my mailbox. I like to run a tight mailbox (an "inbox zero" policy), so if I were the recipient of that sunscreen email, I'd be mildly annoyed. Then I'd immediately look for an unsubscribe link, and/or create a rule to delete such emails email the future, and/or move it into the junk folder.

I have heard of people setting a timer for 7 hours 30 mins in the morning (that's 30 min of paid breaks), then just pause it when you aren't working and restart it when you start work again.

I'm not quite that dedicated and I do some longer and some shorter days, so doesn't really work for me, but some people love that strategy.
