20 minutes on the shitter, 10-15 in the break room at the coffee machine, 10-15 hanging out at another coworker's desk bullshitting, etc. And this happens multiple times per day.

I'm sure there are plenty of people who abuse working from home and spend half their day at the store and whatnot, but I personally have not noticed much of a change in how much work I get done in a given day.

Yeah this isn't really true either. If my mouse is idle for more than 10 minutes, my status changes to being away from the computer. I'm pretty sure this gets tracked and is brought up to people who's production and performance starts noticeably slipping.

There’s a dongle for that. Amazon. Plugs into USB, and computer treats it like a secondary mouse. It moves the pointer 1 pixel every 2 seconds or something. I mainly used it at home to keep the work computer from logging out if I went to the shitter. I’d be the only one at home but constantly logging in, connecting to VPN, etc before I found that deal. Afterwards, I had to remember to change my status at day’s end.
