How about 6-9?

6am-9am is optimal

9-9 sucks, try working those hours when you have a spouse and young kids. Ideally you should want to have dinner with your family or go out to have dinner with friends after work. If you are in your 20's and not married, knock yourself out, work past midnight if you want to.

6-6 is not bad if 1) you dont bring home work and dont work on the weekends and 2) you have a 15-20 min commute or WFH. Ideally, I would love to get off work at 2 or 3 PM latest if I start work at 6.

Long term, neither options are very attractive, at some point you have to work 8-9 hours.

 

This question is why I always laugh when people say they “only” work 60 hours a week. Like that is a ton of hours and basically leaves you with no real free time for anything else other than basic life maintenance like hygiene, food, and sleep.

And yes I’ve worked 60 hours a week for months / years on end before. It sucked.

 

What are you going to do between 6am - 9am? Nothing. What can you do between 6pm - 9pm? Everything. You could pursue a hobby on two/three weeknights, take your SO out to dinner one weeknight, go to the pubs on the remaining day, while still hitting the gym everyday. Sure, sleeping at 10 pm is not the best - but the value you get out of three hours in the evening compared to three hours in the early morning is uncomputable.

 

or hit the gym at 9:30pm like i do - my gym closes at 11pm and i'm a late workout type of guy
