[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 476227, member: 6546"] Shari-- My husband is very much like you...hard-working, hates to be late, goes the extra mile.... He was really getting burned out due to schedule issues a while back. He was frustrated that he often started his days behind on the workload and then tried to catch up by putting in the time at night - only to get behing again later in the week. He solved it by working a few hours on Sundays from home. He found that by working, say, 1 to 5 on a Sunday - he could get a jump on the work for the week...and then not have to stay late or work from home in the evenings. Now when he originally pitched this idea to the boss - the boss didn't like it...and instead tried to give him a pep talk along the lines of "O come on, you're doing great! Don't beat yourself up about getting everything done." But husband insisted that the boss at least let him try it. After a few weeks - the boss admitted that the Sunday work did seem to make a huge difference in husband's productivity....and job satisfaction. [/QUOTE]
