Honest Question for those working from home

quote:

---

If you had to honestly sit down and determine a number, how many hours do you truly work a week working from home

---

The same number that I worked when I had to go into the office, I just don't have to sit there and pretend to be busy

whether I WFH or the office, I accomplish 88% of what I need to do and reschedule the rest to March 31st

I work the same number of hours but it takes me more hours to do it. I get distracted by things that need to be done around the house. Before I was forced to work from home I loved it. Now, not so much.

I’ve worked from home for 10+ years. Some weeks I may get 30-40 and some I get 40-50. In the end it’s not about how many hours, it’s did I accomplish what needed to be accomplished.

For instance, I had a light day today and was able to bring 2 of my kids to lunch after their half day at school. However, I left for Denver Sunday bright and early so that I could be back for 5hat lunch today. Additionally, I’ll be working 10-12 hours Labor Day bringing on a team from a new acquisition.

This is correct for when I worked from home.

Yep.

Which is maybe 2 hours. Maybe.

I probably work a little more hours at home. I spend no time bullshitting with coworkers and I typically start earlier, end later and take about 20 minutes for lunch vs an hour.

I work a ton more hours from home than in the office. There is no separation. Before driving to work then driving home was like flipping a switch. Unless an emergency came up, I was ‘off’.

I’m never ‘off’ at home. I get an email and go to my computer. Next thing you know, it’s been an hour. Phone calls, same deal. I feel like I work around the clock from home vs standard 8-5 in the office.

40+ hours a week for me.

I've been working at home for almost 10 years now. There are days I miss being in the office, but most days I don't.

It really depends on the day. I do get in about 40 hours total a week, but some days are light and some are non-stop meetings and fires to put out. I absolutely love it though. I went from driving 2 hours a day to zero. That’s 2 extra hours a day with the family or getting a quick 9 holes in, etc.
