I’m listening to a convo (from 2021) between Matt Mullenweg and Shane Parrish about distributed work, and they mention how it’s easier to slack off in an office than in a distributed work environment where your results are what counts. And it suddenly dawned on me that THAT’s why us neurodiverse folks tend to prefer truly distributed work settings to in-person office settings. A lot of “slacking off in an office” is based on seeming to be busy which is, essentially, posturing. And I don’t know many ND folks who are good at posturing. I think we just don’t see the point of it! :D I think I was low-key aware of this before but it’s good to be able to put it in words.
