Changed my mind about remote work after 8 months

I used to think working from home was just an excuse to slack off. My neighbor worked remote for 2 years and I figured he never did real work. Then my boss asked me to try it for a week last February. I hit 42 tasks in my queue that week compared to my usual 30. Tracked my time and realized I saved 90 minutes a day not commuting. Now I'm 8 months in and my quarterly review score went from 3.8 to 4.4. Has anyone else seen a concrete jump in numbers after switching?

My buddy Mark switched to remote at his insurance job and went from barely hitting his call quota to exceeding it by 15% every month. His manager told him if he keeps it up, he'll be up for a team lead spot next year. It's wild how cutting out the commute and office distractions just lets you lock in.

Quiet home office is a game changer for sure.
