This morning, I discussed with my team at work the possibility of switching to a pattern of compressed working. The idea of this is that I work about 45 minutes extra for nine days out of the ten, and then take the tenth day off.

I've asked for that tenth day to be every other Monday. This would mean that I could spend Saturday recovering from the work week, Sunday concentrating on some of my inward-looking goals (plus church commitments, which are considerable), and Monday being really proactive and productive while I've got the house to myself.

We're not sure whether that will work or not, given other colleagues' existing commitments, but we're going to give it a try, starting mid-January. I'm really looking forward to this: I already know that I get much more done on a 'day off' than I do at the weekend or on annual leave. It could do wonders for my 101.
