Which is more productive for you: working from home or the office?

I'm very productive when I'm in the comfort of my home but there are days I find the structure of an office beneficial. I guess working hybrid makes me the most productive

My office days have very much turned into my meeting days, whilst my WFH days are predominately focused on output, so no doubt that skews it, but I definitely enjoy the less interruptions at home.

@stevenbirchall I agree 100%. Also, in my case I need an hour and a half to get to the office and another hour and a half to get back home, so the stretch is long for me and as I now go on specific days I can invest this time in other things.
Ezgi Aydın
@stevenbirchall that is very interesting, maybe it is because of my schedule but I usually have more meetings when I'm working from home
Ezgi Aydın
@eileen_simons I totally agree. As a person who spends long hours commuting to work it sure feels like I have more time to spend on other things when I'm working from home

@stevenbirchall @eileen_simons That's exactly what we were discussiong with my team today. A colleague states that she used to loose 2h to come and go to the office, and now that she works remotedly she can do more stuff. Happy employees, work better done they say, so I'm glad!

@antoine_guillot1 That is amazing!

Working from home for me, something about being in my own environment keeps me productive

@aaronoleary so true because in office it take time to adjust but from home it's heaven 😇

@aaronoleary That's true, but at times, it's difficult for me to keep away from personal works
Ezgi Aydın
@aaronoleary I feel the same. It is a space that belongs to me so I can move and act more freely. Being comfortable keeps me productive

@aaronoleary @pankti_shah_910 But don't you find kitchen, fridge, and TV as a distracting invitation :-)

@aaronoleary Working from home for me is boring, because it's hard to come up with good ideas

I am more productive in working from home but visiting the office from time to time would really be a great way to connect with your workmates and it pumps me up that I'm working with real people! hehe.

I like to work in the office, as children do not interfere.

Such a great question. I love being strategic about the kind of work I'm trying to accomplish and marry that to the environment. When collaboration is key we get everyone in office around a table and a whiteboard. When I just need to churn out documentation or process a bunch of individual tasks, I stay home to maximize efficiency. So curious if anyone has found great collaboration tools for remote work?
Ezgi Aydın
@nmastracci I have the perfect software for you. BeforeSunset helps you see what and how long you and your coworkers are working on. That way you can see If any one of you is overworking yourself. That is definitely the perfect way to increase productivity and collaborate. Here is the link so you can check it out: https://www.usebeforesunset.com/

@ezgi_aydin oh wow! You use this? Have you had to intervene with a coworker who was over-extending themselves? How did that go?
Ezgi Aydın
@nmastracci Well usually I'm that coworker who is over-extending themself. It is great to have that insight and see which task I'm spending way too much time on. When that happens I direct my attention to some other task

@ezgi_aydin very fair! I’m just curious.. how did you track your own time before? Or how were you prioritizing your work before this tool? What led you to the moment “I need this!”

Working from Home!

Working from Home! I got the time to cook healthy meals, plus get extra time to take care of my furbabies. In addition, I got to finish projects on time, and most of all more productive than commuting to work.
Ezgi Aydın
@rimer_carlyle_espinosa I miss my cat a lot when I'm away so it is great to work from home
Rhymer Espinosa
@ezgi_aydin Absolutely. Not to mention the separation anxiety furbabies feel when they left at home. Work from home is the new normal for us.

I've been working from home since 2018. You have to essentially become a master at creating pattern interrupters, but walking every day and aiming to learn one new thing daily is the safest bet to keep your sanity.
Ezgi Aydın
@claudiav That is great! I'm still working on keeping my sanity part
Abid Unnisa
Working from home anytime. As I feel the travel time can be saved making us more productive.
Ezgi Aydın
@abid_unnisa You are right! I try to read on my commute to use that time wisely but I cannot focus as well as when I'm at home
