Given that I am so passionate about remote working, and my friends know it, I must've had 20 people send it to me directly to make sure I'd seen it.

It gives me the privacy and freedom to optimize my productivity, and especially to cut out the time-consuming formalities while instead adding in [personal enjoyments that boost my energy and focus](.

Many had similar reactions to mine, while others instead thought, "See? This is another reason working from home doesn't work!"
