My boss lets me work from home a few days a week, and it's literally career-saving. Anyone else find remote work a game-changer for their focus?

Nope. I am somehow more distracted at home (I think bc of chores) than I am at the office. Billables are always higher for me in the office. Sucks that I can’t focus at home because I have a very long commute to the office

YES. My boss lets me work from home and doesn’t really care what my hours are as long as I’m generally available when he needs something and I meet my billable goals (and obviously attend any calendar events). I still go into the office because my support staff is required to, but I can come and go as I please, or not. Truly life changing since I’ve pretty much only worked for micromanagers.

One of my frustrations with myself (writing it out here so I can work on it) is that I will print out something that I need, such as a traffic collision report. I will read it without actually reading it. This results in spending time without actually retaining info. Does this happen to anyone else? I’ve found that I can actually focus when I truly force myself, but often this happens after I’ve discovered an error or an important piece of information that I should have noticed earlier.
