While working in an office, I considered myself one of the more productive members of my team, and one colleague called me the most productive team member. Now, working from home, I am often standing up, walking around and dreaming for hours. I am glad I was allowed to return to an office alone this Monday. I am not 100% sure it is all due to WFH because my assigned project changed at about the same time but I can only hope I'll recover when I'm in an office again, even if nobody else is there to watch over me.

How much of that walk around time is just time saving from other things?

I'm also called productive by my team and I do the same as I save so much time by not having to deal with interruptions, leaving meetings on in the background, and and being able to work through lunch.

None of the walkaround time is saved from other things I'd say. I don't work through lunch, my lunch break has gotten longer because I make food instead of eating in the canteen, and lunch is one of the enjoyable times when I do not feel guilty for not working. The 'enjoyable because I do not feel guilty for not working' is somewhat true for the meetings now as well.
