Remote work on servers is how I work from home...or actually anywhere with internet and/or cell service, they don't have to know.

As I saw I was getting interrupted a lot taking care of Mom while working at home. So I used a time tracker app. Had a menu bar feature so I could turn it on when I sat down to work, and off before I got up to do something else.

Kept track in case the overseers questioned the time I spent. Turned out I actually got more work done because there was less time spent on Mom, Dog, etc interruptions than co-worker interruptions, especially with all their meetings! The trouble I had was spending too much time on work.

Got pretty good at seeing just how little time interruptions eat. Then they started using 5pm to track how much time is spent on what kind of job for costing. I have several categories my tasks fall into so at the end of a day I divy up a guesstimate of how much time was spent in each category. Because of that I quit using the time tracker, seemed like doing double work for the same thing. Glad they implemented 5pm instead of something that you have to clock on/off of tasks. But that would have been just like using the time tracker thing.
