• It ain't the promised land, it's just not billing and working that many hours all the time. It's a huge pay cut and the hours can still be intense. I work a lot in-house, but that comes with the seniority of my roles.
• During the meetings where I am not actually contributing anything important. (That’s about half of my day).

• “Oh, we find little times during the day.” - as Phyllis from The Office would say.
• It’s just different. You get your work done. Nobody cares how or when. Slow week means you can work on other stuff. Also, in-house; perfect is the enemy of good enough.
• 8-5 is for meetings. 5-9 is for work.

Attorney and Associate Responses:

• When everyone's gone to bed/asleep.
  
• Is in-house being the promised land a lie?!?!
• During meetings that I'm requested to join but don't need to be on (which is 90% of all meetings).
• Evenings and weekends my friend. Other than the impact on my social life, I actually like working on weekends precisely because of the lack of interruptions.
• I block off time on my calendar most days for work - it’s the only way I can get uninterrupted time.
