The last study I heard on Planet Money stated there was a decrease in productivity overall, but it heavily depends on the person. If you cannot self-motivate then working from home is worse for productivity, but if you can, then you are more productive at home without all the distractions of an office.

The "threat" apparently came from an employee anyways, so they even messed up that part of the script.

I'm using Connect on Android and it's been pretty flawless. Until I see a reason to swap, or a less insane paid version I'll just keep using this.

Because this way it's not considered gratuity, and the owners don't have to actually give all of it to their employees.

+1 for the Sofle, I love mine, just built a wireless version so I can take it on the go.

I have a pretty basic org-roam setup I think. I keep my org files all in a directory called "org" that I sync with syncthing (previously I used Dropbox), and whenever I setup a new machine, I just grab that folder and put it at my user root (with Dropbox I would just symlink the folder from "~/Dropbox/org" to "~/org").

Now no matter what machine I am on and where I make my changes I have them all up to date.

I generally have large nodes that contain all my knowledge, and I split them up as they get too big. E.g I used to have a single UnityEngine node, but over time I have split it up into many different nodes: EditorWindow, ScriptableObjects/UnitTesting/etc..

I have at least one node for each of my projects, and there is a "Tasklist" heading in each of those project nodes which contain all my TODOs, those project files are tagged with the name of the project, so that I can easily write an org-agenda search to grab all the TODOs from a single project into a single view without anything else I have stored in the file (which includes a project synopsis, architecture notes/UML diagrams, general notes, etcc..).

Since I am already in emacs when I am writing code, this keep it very simple for me to have this information as accessible as all my code files are. When I discover a new language feature or have to look something up, I just open up the node for that language, and put that new information in, linking to the source where i grabbed that snippet, or where the full MSDN documentation is stored if I need to go more in depth that my short description I write it. Copying down the information helps me internalize it, and I can easily just search through that file for information I have stored. This means that even if I don't have internet access, I have access to all my previously looked up information I maybe have forgotten.
