CaliforniaSince starting at Search Engine Watch taking over for Gary Price to work as the News Editor with Danny Sullivan, I have been waking up pretty early to get all the blogging mostly done before the normal work day. This started about 2.5 years ago, and my typical day started with me getting up at 5:45 (now a bit earlier) and leaving the house by 6am.

This worked out well, since Danny was based in the UK. So he was up and about and he and I were compiling the news and stories very early in the AM. This pattern continued when we both left to start Search Engine Land But now that Danny has moved to the west coast, he now won't be around until much later.

RustyBrick is also more self-sufficient then it was a few years back. So I have less busy work with RB, and more creative work with it. So managing the blogging and "real work" during the day should be easier.

I am strongly considering waking up at 6am, and leaving the house by 6:20am. Then going to Jewish morning services at that time and ending up at work closer to 7am - as opposed to 6:30. In fact, I am hoping to then move that to a 7am wake up and 8am work start. I am not sure if I can stomach the "late" start - but I think I should give it a shot, at least the 20-30 minute delayed start.
