I don't want it running during the day when I'm working
Huh?
Wouldnt that be the *exact* time you want it running so your work is backed up?
Agreed!
then you'd both be wrong - I want to run it at the end of the day
Why only then? Time Machine is designed to do hourly incremental backups. (Under Sierra, it's not necessarily on so rigid a schedule.) The slowdown from the operation on any modern Mac would be so small as to be completely unnoticeable.
Why not make a nightly incremental clone instead of using Time Machine?
