Now I work more from home and it is great. I work a lot more efficient from home. Because alone at home with my child I need to work quick. With a baby you learn to prioritize immediately. You need to prepare food and change diapers at time and the intervals between this necessary routine I enjoy to work with my brain.
Every task last so long till the deadline reached. Microsoft Japan changed from full time to only 4 days per week, only 6 hours per day, and the team has the same productivity.
Unfortunately in many companies you just have to be visible in the office. Especially women and men who are very productive because there deadline is to pick up there child from child care at 5:30 every day have a disadvantage against the colleagues who socialize after 6 pm with the boss. I've learned many bosses seems to have only social life at work and they came around after 6 to chat and sometimes even have a beer. The chats are often about work. If you are at home with the family you cannot talk about your current successes and projects in the evening at work.
