A guide to set expectations on how best to work with Michelle.
I'll often be wearing headphones and listening to music to alleviate distractions. Interruptions via chat are disruptive to my workflow.
All writing and coding is primarily in Atom.
Short, quick communications are in chat. Longer form thoughts without the need of real-time discussion are better in email or a shared document.
If it has a URL please include a link for context.
I like to discussing ideas and get feedback often. During discussions, I will often be taking notes. I greatly appreciate any follow-up email to further flesh out discussion topics.
I'm located in San Francisco in the pacific timezone. My mornings are busy feeding and dressing my person; then driving him to preschool. I prefer an early lunch. My husband works full time too, so schedule adjustments require advanced planning.
My weekday typically follows this schedule:
Time (PT) | Activity |
---|---|
12–7am | sleep |
7–9am | prepping and preschool drop off |
9–12pm | work |
12-1pm | lunch |
1–5pm | work |
5-5:30pm | preschool pickup |
5:30–7pm | family and dinner time |
7–9pm | kid's bath, books, and bed time |
9–12pm | work, leisure, sleep |
My work hours and lunch are flexible, but the morning and night routines with the kids are not flexible.
Please do plan meetings a day to a week in advance with an agenda so I can be prepared.
