Add another one person to the list. I am a software engineer, I have ADHD and I go to the office 3 days of the week instead of the mandated 1 day. It’s just much easier for my brain to focus when I’m in a work environment than at home. Part of it might be how my working space at home is set up, but at home, I have never matched my productivity at the office. Plus, commuting to work is a large majority of my outside time and social time. I touch grass and attend social events relatively rarely and I know I need to work on that, but the fact remains that commuting to work is good for my sanity.
EDIT: Regardless, I understand why people don’t want to commute to the office and when given the opportunity, I will always advocate for people’s right to choose one, the other, or anything in between.
I love diversity in the ND community! 🙂
Not really, it’s actually pretty quiet even though it’s open space. But I am at my most productive when I have my headphones on and I listen either to instrumental music (post-rock or post-metal works great) or rainycafe.com
