I’ve been caught in that productivity guilt trap before. But the truth is, being constantly available or replying instantly doesn’t equal competence nor does staying online longer make you more productive. A lot of this stems from outdated office culture still influencing remote work. Shifting from visibility to value and setting digital boundaries made a big difference for me.
Coach
I like to deliver something, if I do offer, then this is the only way I can prove myself!
For me, I always focus on outcomes and delivering value that is high visibility and gets a lot of other teams involved. Then, the mentality shifts from “how productive are you” to “what is your value add”. Any other intrusion of “are you doing enough” gets silenced.
Coach
Getting an opportunity to deliver something of high visibility is very hard to come by!
When that happens I go take a nap

It seems like this is the best thing to do!
