Lifehacker geek Gina Trapani shares her blogging schedule with Joe Wilkert of Wrox (she works from home)
I wake up just before 6AM on weekdays and immediately start posting the day’s tech news. That may sound early, but since I’m on the West coast, it’s already 9AM Eastern, so all the big news of the day has broken. It’s up to me to make sure my readers get anything of note first thing, so I post pretty frenetically till about 9AM or so.
Then I grab breakfast and a shower and a cup of tea, and slow down a bit, process email, respond to reader comments, and research my feature articles for the week, and less-time sensitive posts. I spend the day online, in constant contact with my co-editors and managers via IM and email.
Often I take my laptop to the coffee shop or anywhere outside with wireless access and work from there. I make a point to go out for lunch and socialize whenever possible, because otherwise I’d go nuts being alone all day.
Since I work from home there’s not a whole lot of separation between home and work life, but I try to enforce boundaries. I am guilty of grabbing the laptop to dash off an idea or post after dinner or while watching American Idol. But I do try to avoid doing that whenever I can. Computer-free time is important. Link
