10:30: get to work (now my home office), check email
10:30-noon: procrastinate
noon-1:15: lunch then 45 minute walk
1:15-5:00: procrastinate
5-7pm: 2 hours of amazing productivity
7-8:30: Cook & eat dinner
8:30-midnight: Take rest of night off or perhaps have another couple hours of productivity.
It's not as bad as it sounds cause usually the "procrastination" is me experimenting with new code or programming languages (or reading HN), just not what I'm "supposed" to be doing.
Usually at some point I start yelling at myself "ok, you REALLY need to work now" and once I get into it I'm extremely focused and productive, especially if a deadline is looming.
When I worked in an office I was the same way. If I hit a good stride by like 4-5pm, I would usually end up staying until 7-9pm. It's good to have bosses that recognize that 40 hours a week don't have to be at the same time every day to maximize productivity.
