Anything less made me feel inadequate (in the office, I feel good about what I accomplish and don't feel guilty about less productive periods). This. Surely this should be considered a fair drawback of office work? My qualms are with the fact that office work seems to sorely hinder one's ability to self-report about actual productivity. Whilst this is lovely for one's mood (the value of which should, admittedly, not be understated), it seems to bode ill for effectively self-managing one's efforts to get work done.
