How Do You Enjoy Working Second Shift?
For those people working second shift, it may seem that the world revolves around the “normal” 9-5 people, commonly referred to as first shift workers. A second shift worker starts work anywhere from noon to 5 p.m. and gets off work well into the evening hours. With a little planning, working second shift can be quite enjoyable with many advantages. Create a routine. Don’t let your hours slip away each work day with the mentality that you are “just waiting to go to work.” First, realize how long it takes you to get ready for work and how much travel time you need to arrive at work on time. If it you need 30 minutes to prepare for work and 30 minutes travel time to work, then plan your day so all your activities are completed 1 hour before your punch in or clock in time. If you plan on doing errands, etc. and driving directly to work after your errands plan on having those activities completed in time to allow your 30 minute travel time to work. Run your errands in the morning. Grocery
