I’d say that I probably “work” more hours from home. At work if I get so tired I zone out and am fighting to stay conscious, that cycle of trying to stay awake, trying to focus, going for a walk, getting coffee, can all put a 2 or 3 hr whole in my day. At home, I will set a 15min timer on my phone and then go crash on the couch (just comfortable enough for a nap, but not for a long sleep). Even on rare days when I am really wrecked, after 45 min I am ready to focus and get back to work.
Additionally, since I don’t have a deadline to beat traffic, and I take naps whenever I need, if I am focused and in the flow, I don’t just stop working at the end of the day. I ride that focus and flow to its natural fall off. Whereas if I am commuting, when my alarm goes off, I am done and out of the building like a god damn ninja.
I work exactly the same hours when i work from home as when I work at the office. The only difference is the 90 minute commute on office days.
