I am a remote worker. Our team averages 15-30hrs&#x2F;wk each. Some of us never get above 15. I personally average 25-30 when I&#x27;m at home, and 15-25 when I travel. I travel for about 6 months out of the year.<p>If I am not in someone else&#x27;s company and am able to open my laptop, I&#x27;m working. What I mean by that is when most people would be lounging on their couch with their laptop cruising reddit, or watching TV aimlessly, or reading, I end up thinking about work and then just clock in. I get my general goof-off online time via my phone when I&#x27;m getting from A to B or am otherwise not in a position to open my laptop.<p>This means I very often end up working 7 days a week. I think a few times this year I hit 38hrs in a week. I generally keep track of work via my phone when I&#x27;m unavailable or working less and if something pops up I clock in and take care of it.<p>This is just my nature and I&#x27;m happy I&#x27;ve found a job that gives me this type of flexibility. Filling work time into the bits of downtime that would otherwise be wasted allows me to match my free time to those that I love, like my father or partner (who is a schoolteacher and has frequent vacations).<p>Maybe this isn&#x27;t for everyone, but if I had to back to a traditional work environment I&#x27;d probably lose my mind. The ability to travel, visit my father for a few weeks, take a 10 day vacation with my partner multiple times per year (plus summer&#x2F;winter break), wake up whenever I want, work out for 3hrs 3x per week, followed by an hours at the pool - that&#x27;s amazing. I wouldn&#x27;t trade this for anything.<p>I think I am much, much productive in this type of work environment than any that I have ever had. It makes my work better, more focused, and keeps me happy &amp; loyal. Flexibility is king.
