Really enjoying working remotely. Looking back in time, it seems silly that people at my company were disallowed to work a few days from home whenever they asked. When I think back to the time I was in the office, I believe I spent roughly 80% of my time focusing on what needed to be done, and the remaining 20% in face-to-face discussion, whether casual or not. That 20% is very valuable and I would not want to replace that. Based on that, and what my team needs, I believe it would be optimal to come into the office 1 or 2 days a week. It should be easy to defer the necessary conversations and face-to-face meetings to those days. But of course, everyone's needs are different and a balance must be struck.
