The comments here are super interesting. I think the point of the piece has nothing to do with interruptions, eureka moments, or productivity—it’s not really about work at all. It’s about identity, and the fact that our collective identities are so wrapped up in our work selves that we don’t really know what we’re working for. Are we working for our families? For retirement? For self worth?<p>He, and I guess “I” by extension, would argue that you’re working to enjoy those little moments in life you’ll never get back—the ones you’re supposed to savor. If you’re in that headspace, working from home is one of modern society’s greatest advances.
