From the underlying study, I wouldn't even assume that all of those 48 minutes are actual "work" either- they just use the difference between the first and last email sent in a day. The flexibility of being at home in many circumstances is a pretty big deal- I can spend 20 minutes getting dinner for the family prepped and cooking and easily make it up later, which I can't do at an office.
- wott 6y agoAgreed. In fact small chores which were a hassle when coming home after a 10-hour long (or longer) day of commuting+work+break+work+commuting can become a welcomed break, for they are actually a break from work, a tiny bit of manual work inside the stream of intellectual work. > I can spend 20 minutes getting dinner for the family prepped and cooking and easily make it up later Furthermore, for some parts, you needn't even make it up, because after a bit of preparation, you can go back to work while some stuff will gently cook alone for 1 or 2 hours in the kitchen.
