Re:Ask HN: How many (actual) hours do you work a week? by bartvk on Tuesday October 10, 2017 @10:01PM (#15446792)
Personally, I really like my coworking space. But I got one that's 10 minutes away. Isn't there something closer to you?

Also, I have the feeling that you're overthinking this. Sit down at 08:30. Grab a brownbagged sandwich from 12:30 to 13:00. Then work until 17:00. Done, go home and enjoy your spare time. This business of sitting in your office until 12:00 PM sounds ridiculous to me, why would any wife out up with that?

No, I'm out in the sticks. Hence why I fancy remote dev work :)

I'm really trying to do that. Problem is a few hours time zone difference between me and my workplace. They are ahead of me. So what usually happens is I constantly end up staying up late in order to get them something they can test out in the morning (before I sign back on) that a way when I came back the next day for work, I will know whether what I did the day before is working or not. But I guess that is not working...

She manages, but doesn't like it...
