Matt Webb introduced Unoffice Hours in 2020 as a pandemic-induced twist on office hours. Office hours have been around for a while, particularly in academia as a way for students to find time with their tutors or professors, and they made their way into tech companies for similar reasons.

Unoffice hours are basically that, but don’t require an actual office. I think of them as an extended water cooler chat, or more likely as meeting someone for a chat over coffee. So I’m now around every Friday morning for a 30 minute chat about anything you like.

You can book a time slot that works for you.

Pretty much anything goes, but I do have a few guidelines. Firstly I promise not to sell you anything – you make the same promise. That said, if you’re curious about how we could work together, we can totally chat about that. If you’re looking to share ideas; follow up on something I wrote; talk typography, music or cycling; or catch up on the old days – that’s all cool too.

I’m on London time, so please check the times work for your own timezone. If you can’t make it: please cancel the meeting or drop me an email. Running late happens and that’s fine! I’ll stay on the call for 5 mins.

There is an Unoffice Hours webring listing other people with open calendars.
