> I sit at my desk at 7am work till 6pm. The kids come in at 11am and do oh so much over time when working till 7pm.

Why are you working 11-hour days when your colleagues are working 8-hour days?

Efficiency: I do my thinking/coding/building/writing (not writing emails) in the morning before anyone comes in and can interrupt me. I plan all meetings (which I don't consider proper work) in the afternoons. In short: work first, chatting and socialising afterwards. Some people do like to do it the other way around, which I totally understand and respect. I'm more of a morning person. TDLR; My first 8 hours I start with creating value and at the end of the day I a put in a few extra hours (not always) to socialise ;-)
