Re:Average Office Worker Spends Less Than 3 Hours of the Day...

When I work from home, I get far more done in less time, yet so many employers are stuck on discouraging working from home. In fact, I'm probably more productive working 20 hours focused at home then 40 in the office.
I changed my work setup to be contact based (by project, not by hour), and I now get more done in 20 hours than I did with 40 hours, and I feel that's because I can:
- take breaks without getting flak for it from management
- interact with clients/partners when I choose to (email, IM, etc, all of which can be muted/ignored)
- work longer when I feel I'm doing well, work less when I'm distracted
However, every office has different expectations, so maybe mine was just particularly bad. IDK.
