work from home has been great for me in that I can compress work into non 9-5 bursts.

instead of slacking trough 8hours per day with an effective 2-3 hours of work for 5 days I take the 1 day(and/or night) were I work full concentration until exhausted (with small breaks) and take next day "off" (I'm connected still reachable in communication tools) to do personal stuff, side projects, watch TV, exercise, or just chores.

My overall productivity and mood are much better than when I was working from the office, but I'm afraid it's soon coming to an end unless I find a new job that's Ok with being remote.

Daily stand ups that ask for updates kindof kills this, unless you purposely have uncommitted work and suddenly commit+push it during your “off” days

I do have daily standups toward the end of the day, and I just report the progress for the task at hand so far. I haven't told anyone that this is how I work but I don't bother to cook up the commit dates either.

it's not like I commit multiple times every single day, sometimes I'm working the conceptual design of the solution, doing some manual tests, finding representative datasets / test cases.

Why? Can't you be honest about how you work in your daily stand ups?
