Exactly! This is why I prefer working remotely. If I'm stuck on a problem, I can do all of the above whenever I want. My version of zen is to go to the local basketball court and shoot jump shoots.
Since I started working from home, I work 15-20 hours less. I'm much more productive without all the distractions and I don't have an 8 hour commute gobbling up my time. I can't get into podcasts or audible.com when I'm stuck in traffic :(
- recursive 10y agoI can do all that stuff at the office, so it's not just on-site vs. remote.
- FullMtlAlcoholc 10y agoYour office has a shower and a management team that doesn't mind such behavior? At my first job, our manager would force the engineering team to go to the beach every Friday to get out of the office, as we were the office shut ins. We worked longer hours than any other department by far. This caused a major political situation as the head of Project Management voiced vocal opposition to our field trips due to optics, even though this most likely helped our productivity. One other commitment I had difficulty meeting was seeing a therapist every week. I always had to come in super early or stay late, neither of which was ideal
- recursive 10y agoYes. It's a nicer shower than the one I have at home too.
