The opposite has been true for me.
Bizarrely having my own desk, not having to wear pants, being able to turn the wifi off (use ethernet), having full control of my sonic environment (I have a good hifi, I play white noise, rain noise, cafe noise, music), not having to shower and not having to commute seem correlated with less time spent browsing HN at work.
- Arelius 3y agoFor sure, maybe it's my Adhd and/or chronic fatigue, but so often at work, I would not be able to get motivated or focused, and would mindlessly scroll the Internet waiting for the time when it would be reasonable to leave for the day. Now, I have much better flexibility to just acknowledge it's not happening for me now, take a short break, nap, walk or coffee, and come back to my desk later when my mind has been able to reset. I am much more able to get into the work mindset with that flexibility and control over my space. I find that in general within my team while many communication tasks are more challenging. The heads down tasks are greatly more productive.
