I am also vastly more productive at home than I am at an office. Especially the San Francisco lunchroom chic that plagues the city.

- lmeyerov 4y agoHere's an attempt at quantifying Junior staff need constant help, but senior staff need space that's hard to achieve at an office. Studies show people take 30m-1.5hr to dial in for deep work. So, imagine a "light" office day: - 8a drive, coffee, etc - 9a sit down - 10a standup mtg - 11:50a team lunch roundup - 2p random meeting - 5p drive home At best, that leaves 3 hours of deep work: 11a-12, 3p-5p. Heaven forbid someone swings by your desk during that period! WFH gets the 2 commute hours back, gives scheduling control to bookend breakfast & lunch with whatever distracting meetings, an async standup removes the sync one's disruptions, and a lot of the desk traffic is gone. So, WFH done right, ~doubles the amount of deep work by the more effective staff
