Scenario 1: Wake at 7, quickly rinse and prepare, prepare the cat's paraphenalia for the day, take the car, swear in traffic, get to work at 8:20, coworkers stop you for coffee until 9:00, then again at 11. Get out at 12:30, find something to eat in the city taht doesn't cost a kidney, get back, coffee, 16:00 coffee again, 18:00 get back in the car, swear in traffic until almost 19:00. Scenario 2: Wake at 8:15, calmly rinse and prepare, spend time with the cat while fixing it for the next hours, start working at 9:00, at 12:00 start boiling water for a nice fresh pasta at 12:30, 13:00 back again to work or a short nap / free time, at 17:30 stop working and already home, waiting for the unlucky wife who doesn't smart work. Oh gosh, how come Scenario 1 is less productive??? :confused pikachu face:

Well, I'm actually doing work when I otherwise would have been showering, eating breakfast, and spending 30 minutes in traffic. Oh, and let's not forget the busload of people who find my cube and interrupt me with their problems all day. Now? Wake up, grab something for breakfast and spin up the laptop. Oh, and look, no line of people dumping their problems on me all day.

But managers still want to install [insert your favourite spyware here] in your laptop to check if you are working or not when in home office... :doh: :doh: :doh: :mad:

Mine was similar. Not only did I get time back from my 45 minute (each way) commute I spent my lunch hour cleaning the kitchen (unloading the dishwasher from the night before) and loading anything newly used into it.
Today, taking small breaks to think about a problem or what next to tackle, I did some laundry, watered the plants, trimmed the outdoor hanging plants of dead stuff, played with the cat, took a short walk, had a nice conversation with a friend that I encountered while running an errand, found out another friend is about to die of cancer :( and still got a ton of work done because I could take breaks that were productive and let the brain stew on work problems.

You would think that managers would "get it", that people want dignity and a life and that that makes them more productive. :sigh:
