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

@jason_andries1 Seeing my coworkers focus on their tasks helps me focus as well. I miss that when I'm working from home
@jason_andries1 I also noticed that being with someone who is focused on the task helps me to be more productive. But I managed to adapt this feature to my WFH environment by daily online meetings.
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.
@stevenbirchall that is very interesting, maybe it is because of my schedule but I usually have more meetings when I'm working from home
@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!
@stevenbirchall @eileen_simons @antoine_guillot1 Yeah, no daily commute is an excellent benefit of remote work. Are there any downsides to working remotely for you?
Home! The only problem is that building really good connections or friendships is really hard. I feel like more transactional relationships are built online.
@iuliia_shnai As a fellow founder, I am curious about how you solve this (common) problem of building great connections in your team.
Working from home most of the time. But for important meetings I always prefer office. I can't get that group discussion vibe on video meetings.
Hybrid is the way to go. Going into the office is great for your social skills, structure and productivity, and wfh is great for when you still need to work but without all the distractions you can have at the office
A combination of both works for me. But office connect only when required. Also comfortable doing it in a good cafe ☕️ bi-weekly.
definitely working from office. Working from home becomes painful over a period of time with very less human interaction for me. Honestly I look forward going to office nowadays.
Working hybrid is the best, but depends where you live and where your office is. May be they are in different cities / countries))
@gleb_slonimskiy I agree, even though I enjoy being in my own quiet space I sometimes need to see my coworkers and have a chat
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_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 always have to remind myself just how distracting an office is. Every time I stop for a coffee, step outside, stretch, or otherwise step away from my laptop at home, I feel guilty - but the office is FULL of distractions too!
Now that I'm 90% remote - the office is great, but ONLY for relationships and human interaction. I don't get anything done!
I hardly get up from my chair when I work from home.
I play a lot of table tennis when I work from office.
Neither of those. Random places make me the most productive, oddly.
For example working in a train, plane, coffeeshop, some random office or co-working space. It just allows me to focus so well!
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 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 :-)
@tadej_jevsevar in an office it’s atleast 70% of pretending to be busy because work arguably doesn’t take up 8 hours a day.
With WFH I have the flexibility to finish as fast as I want, start on something else, flexibility with my lunch breaks and can be on call also if needs be. It’s a better environment for me personally and that leads me to be more productive
Working from home for me. Working from home has been super productive, and I can do more at home.
While working at the office, I've learned that most of the time, went into meetings which sometimes are useless and take your unnecessary time.
Working from home can have both positive and negative implications for a person's career. Here are some potential implications to consider:
On the positive side, working from home can allow a person to have a more flexible schedule, which can make it easier to manage work and personal responsibilities. This can be especially beneficial for people who have young children or other family members to care for. Additionally, working from home can save time and money on commuting, which can be a major benefit for many people.
On the negative side, working from home can be isolating and lack the social interaction and collaboration that can be found in a typical office environment. This can make it more difficult for people to build professional relationships and advance their careers. Additionally, working from home can be more challenging for people who have a harder time staying focused and disciplined without the structure of an office.
Overall, the career implications of working from home can vary depending on the person and the job. Some people may find that it is a great fit for their needs, while others may prefer the more traditional office environment.
Having a good working environment at home is good enough. Although I do notice that sometimes it's good to be around people working on the same project, sometimes the best ideas come like this. In my opinion, the choice between home, office or hybrid depends on the nature of work :)
For me it would be Work from Office, as at home I feel a little less motivated and also my time management is not that good.
Hybrid work for me 😂 I think connection in real life is pretty important. Have been working from home for months and I feel lack of energy.
