Same. My job is fairly low-intensity and does not require a full work day. Honestly I could do my full days work in about 4-5 hours each day, but I have to spread it out over 8 hours. In an office I spent a lot of time looking busy. We certainly had crunch days that were more like 100% of the day's time investment, but those were not as common. It was very stressful being in the office, looking busy when there's no work is tough. When our startup was purchased and my new manager was now two states away, I decided to stop going in. I do like you now, I work from home, or anywhere I am traveling to. I enjoy my job more and feel more aware since I'm not dulling my senses with busy work. My productivity has risen as proven by my stats. Were I to suddenly have to go into an office tomorrow, it would force me to look for a new employer. I just don't think I could do it again.
