.. this morning it finally hit me. You know that what they say is that a person individually has a set period of time in which he is most productive. This resulting in said person to work harder and be more concentrated to do the task he is given. That this is different per person.

.. well, i think i have found mine ..

I by now can say with a high percentage of certainty that my most productive time period is the one where i stand still in traffic jams.

/rant :)

Now that said, i once spoke to a colleague of mine who actually said something which makes sense, it comes down to the following:

Every morning he would be pissed off at everyone standing in traffic, frustrating himself over little things as slow speed, traffic stops, traffic lights, accidents and what not. Being so eaten by it that by the time he arrived at his work he would already be tired and depressed. Then finally it hit him (im glad he shared it with me), he told me that he had an insight, every morning he would go to his office to do his work, but he can do the same work also from his home. Thus explaining that he doesnt have to be on the road to go to work. Some people do have to go to work, to maybe do physical labor, treating patients, drilling teeth, farming hair and what not. But we are in a line of work, the office people, where most of our work can easily be done from home. We should only have to come in the office when we need to do maintenance, or eat cake.

I can only say that Tim Ferris was right and that the ability to work from home should be more supported by grand offices, this would not only save on traffic jams, the environment, but it would certainly also be better for everyone’s own personal health … (rant on)
