> employers still think that butt not in seat = not working This is a huge red flag for companies. Currently I can just go for a 15-30 minute walk with my dog if I get stuck and still count it as work time. If I'm at the office I can go grab some snacks and go sit on the break area sofas and watch some crap on my phone - still working. It's actually been scientifically proven that a change of environment brings more creativity and makes problem-solving easier. --- At a company I worked years ago we had "work reatreats" where we booked a conference room from a random hotel or office for a day. Breakfast and afternoon tea was catered. Everyone had to pick a few tasks they thought they could finish during the day, we turned off all communication devices and started working roughly on a Pomodoro system monitored by one person. No talking allowed unless we were on a break, where we all got up and left the room for a while. Pretty much everyone was finished with all their tasks before our lunch break. We did this multiple times. It's amazing how much work you can get done when you're in a novel environment with the knowledge that you will have zero distractions for the next 8 hours. Nobody can just pop in for a "quick question" or ping you on any communication tool.
