Working from home on Fridays is getting harder and harder. I just cannot get much done during the day while Ingrid is gently and politely requesting my attention every 10 minutes. I make sure to keep up with email etc, but that’s about it. The bulk of the work gets done during evenings. I’ve got four evenings and eight hours of work, so I have been doing about two hours of work every evening. Which is fine, and I do get a lot done – those eight hours are the most productive ones I have all week. It is quiet, nothing and nobody interrupts me, and I can concentrate fully.

But it does mean that I don’t get much else done in the evenings, because by the time I’ve put Ingrid to bed, had dinner, and worked two hours, it’s about 10 o’clock.

Blogging frequency in particular has suffered. Work is not the only reason, of course. The other part of the equation is that I have gotten into a habit of blogging late in the evening. I think I need to change that, because this way there is too much chance that it just doesn’t happen at all. I may not be able to work while I am constantly interrupted, but I should be able to write a blog post piece by piece.
