“I spend a few minutes a day catching up on the news, the intent being
business-related news, but invariably get drawn into the occasional
non-work-related article.”
“I spend a lot of personal time dreaming/visioning, which to me is a little more than thinking, because it helps me create a vision of my goals—
business and personal. I envision how I am going to make a board
presentation as well as mentally plotting a vacation.”
“I rarely have personal time while at work except for time allocated for
lunch. I do, however, occasionally have meetings during work hours for
civic volunteer work that we are encouraged to participate in.”
“My organization requires its managers to fulfill job duties rather than
hours in a day. On some days I may choose to spend ten hours working
feverishly on a work-related project, and on others I may have the luxury of coming in late, dawdling on personal e-mail, and leaving early. As
long as I perform excellently, I have great latitude in how I spend my time.”
“Based on my work habits, basically no personal time. Rare lunches,
exercise. Bad habits are hard to change.”
“Busy schedules have made eating lunch at your desk a frequent
occurrence.”
“Due to having to serve in three roles at one time, my typical workday
is full of meetings and staying late to do work and taking it home. All
weekends consist of some form of work from a couple hours to twentyplus. I used to exercise, but lately I haven’t had time before work, at
lunch, or after work—leading to my putting on weight and not feeling
very healthy! It hasn’t been fun lately!
