    Totally bullshit. When I’m in the office I’m constantly approached by coworkers wanting to chit chat. Sometimes even when I’m in a Teams meeting with headphones on.

      I probably do the same if not more work at home as I did in the office, but only “work” about 2/3 of the time.

      I don’t have a boss lecture me on blockchain for an hour because they were near my desk, I don’t need to listen to Carla’s story about her flat tyre, I don’t need to get constantly distracted when I’m deep in an analysis hole because someone on maternity leave has walked in with their new baby.

      The time spent caught up in boring distractions is used to put on some washing, set the roomba going, or put a pot roast in the oven freeing up more time to just chill out later on and I still get everything done.

      Never mind the 2 hours a day of commuting time I get back.

      I was in the office 3 days this week. Got almost nothing done. Probably got more done half of today than the last 2 days

      Meetings and distractions while in person

      Same. We go into the office whenever the big bosses go in… so once every couple months. We get almost no work done on those days.
