With three days on my own now under my belt, I think I am in the perfect position to talk about some of the differences. While employment is still fresh in my mind, everything is still new to me. I’m having so much fun learning and growing into my new phase of working life.
One observation which is a bit different than expected is just how many people are out and about during the day. When I was working, I guess it was just natural for me to think that “everyone works during the day”. Now, I’m noticing that this is just not true. I attended a kickboxing class on Friday at 9:30am, full. I tried going to Costco at noon, and it was just as busy as it is on a Saturday afternoon.
Another observation is just how much time there actually is in a day. Cutting out the hour commute to Dotster sure adds a lot of productive time to my day.
I’m also quite pleased at how much better I am at my daily “contact” tasks. Call this person, email that one. I set aside a time every morning to take care of those tasks and then I do it. No coworkers come by to chat, no “fires” start burning out of control, and I get things done. Amazing and so satisfying.
