What time is best for you to go to work?

[Simslover92]

So I have now two times I will be going to work. Ones at 8:30am and the other is at 10:30am. Which is better in your opinion? Later time or earlier time?

Before 9am

After 9am

[AI Opinion]

I’ve tried both in my career, and the “better” time really depends on your habits and goals:

8:30 a. m. is better if:
- You think more clearly in the morning
- You want to finish earlier and have more afternoon/evening time
- Your workplace is quieter early, so you can focus

10:30 a. m. is better if:
- You’re naturally a night owl
- Your work is more collaborative and people are active later
- You value slow, calm mornings to exercise, study, or handle personal tasks

Ask yourself: *When do I do my best focused work?* Choose the time that protects those hours.

I am thinking night time. As an underpants gnome, it's easier that way.

Time to go to work, Work all night, Search for underpants yay!
We won't stop until we have underpants!
Yum tum yummy tum tay!

if those are the options... I'd take the 10:30am

I'm not an early sleeper... lol

[Simslover92]

Lol same

[NathanDavis]

I could go to bed around 1am... and would still have till 9 am or so, to rest and sleep

[Simslover92]

Right.

My entire 30 year work experience I started work mostly at 8:00 sharp.

I had a few short lived jobs that started at 8:30.

I liked 8:00 with an hour for lunch the best.

[Nikki1989]

I work 8 until 4 weekdays and 9 until 3 on Sundays. The Sunday shifts I could do without these days.

[lilBigPotato]

It's all personal preference but I personally prefer starting later.

[DarKnight36]

My marathon starts at 6 AM with GYM, breakfast, and then the office at 9 AM

[xawyx-3]

I'm not an "early bird", so it's better for me to go after 9am :P

[exitseven]

I used to like to work early. I would go for 8:30

[Iron_Man]

Why don’t you get to work at 2 o’clock in the morning and get off at 9 AM then go work out then go to the beach after it

[exitseven]

@Iron_Man I did that for a while. I was falling asleep on the job after a while. I got to work at 9PM and worked until 8AM.

[Iron_Man]

That’s a long day 11 hours did you work security?

[exitseven]

@Iron_Man No i installed data systems in banks and department stores. The store manager used to lock us in the store at night and let us out in the morning before the customers showed up,

[Iron_Man]

That’s a good job, my friend good job

[Iron_Man]

But I don’t like being locked in the store and what if there’s a fire. What if you have to go home and take care of your wife and leave early see that causes a problem.

[exitseven]

@Iron_Man it was when I first got into IT. It really was grunt work. I learned a lot and had a lot of fun travelling around the country.

The best shift I had was 7-3:45. I missed most of the commuter traffic and was home with plenty of afternoon to do things.

[Anonymous]

Earlier the better for me so I have of the rest of the day to do things after

[RedInnocent69]

After 9 would be frowned upon and cuts too much into the evening

[queenofcardio]

I'm a morning person so I prefer the earliest time.

[EzraIsShy76028]

Probably after 9AM. May sound cliche to say but I'm not a morning person.

[ohsheeT]

I like both I would switch them up if that's an option

[thegreenyogi]

Early morning before sunrise.

[MrChinaski]

15 minutes before your boss.

[rgb008]

[dudeinohio]
