I mean, I'm probably less productive. But I'd still take it. I think my effective work hours have halved, but my effective productivity has dropped maybe 10-20%, as I've basically become far more aggressive about doing what matters and not the other bullshit that is maybe 'productive', but has no real value (i.e., write only documentation, synchronous communication sessions over things that don't really matter such as the exact wording of some bit of high level guidance, etc). So my -efficiency- is higher. Total work productivity, sure, taken a hit.
