How to convince people that work-from-home is not a synonym for \"waste time\"? I can only conclude that those people have never tried it, or don't have the discipline to make it work themselves, and think that no-one else can. Same for flexi-time - how to convince them that even if the work may sometimes be done at odd hours (eg. early morning, night, weekends), it will still get done? I've done it before, and I know I can do it, but it's hard to convince people. Not all jobs can be done that way, but why not let those who can do it?dd not at home due to some sch activities.

I find that at home, I am able to draft emails better, plan & design slides for presentation better, think & plan activities better etc.
In ofc, I can’t do such bec there are always pple walking around, even if they dont talk to me, they talk to my colleagues and I can get distracted.
I can do ofc work, while preparing a meal or even vacuum my home. -
Lots of me time when I dun do housework n cook
Eating my freshly baked mixed fruits muffins with English tea,
Watching on line show -

Earplugs or headphones? I've been thinking about getting some, but it can seema bit rude, I think. The guy on the other side of the partition from me has a very loud voice, and is on the phone a lot!slmkhoo

I also can't work well in an environment that has people sound. Too used to work in a totally quiet home.

I think this is my weak pt; so sometimes I hv to bring ofc work home to settle bec in ofc, I can’t shut distractions.
Some colleagues just broadcast their personal matters on the phones; at times, rather interesting! -

I think a better solution would be to tell him discreetly and politely rather than to wear ear phones.

Another colleague who knows him better has told him many times, very directly, that his voice is really loud. But he just naturally has a loud voice. He will try to tone down, but it doesn't last more than 1 sentence! -

Same here. I have difficulty shutting out \"human voices\", irregular tapping noises and all sorts of notification (handphone, door bells, buzzer, micro wave, alarm clock etc). No problem with machines humming though. sometimes Bo bian but have to listen to other people's conversation. What to do, I just can't shut them off.
My most productive days would be days where there are almost nobody in the office.
however, this mostly happen only on non-working days. :gloomy:
