I get easily distracted as well. I battle this by using the Pomodoro productivity method. This fits my short attention span AND allows me distraction time.

I'm in a similar situation. Sort of "soft" shopping for a new job but nothing has really fired me up enough to make the change. And if I do, I am fully committed to being remote as well.

Would you mind sharing what type of work you do?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Totally agree. And actually, if I were in my early career, I would probably like to go in for face-to-face time too.

I like to write between tasks. Both fiction and little programs that continue to make my work easier via "automation."

Sounds like all the old dudes were feeling lonely and just wanted some company. I will say that you are lucky to have a 20 min commute. When I was going in daily I, had a 90 min commute on public transportation. Yuck.

My thoughts exactly!

I'm in a very similar situation. My partner and I are very lucky to have a nice house and office space for each of us. I understand not everyone has that. :(

My org is also looking to right-size and find a much smaller HQ.

I bet they are also the same people that schedule a 1 hour meeting for an email that would be one paragraph.

I work for a fairly large organization that is mostly centralized but all my immediate colleagues are distributed around the globe. So, continuing work-from-home is not that difficult for me and no one is demanding my return.
