2 hour work units
The programmers still are working at home since the fire. We'll see if we make it back at the office on Monday.
Since I'm not at the office I've been doing the old coffee shop routine. The most efficient time block I've found is 2 hours which happens to coincide with the battery running out of juice. My goal is to get in 3 units a day for 7 days a week.
Two hours is enough to get something done, but not enough to screw around on the inet. I do a tiny bit of screwing around in that time, but it's on the order of 2's of minutes per unit. So pretty good.
If I do end up getting 3 units in then I think I am doing really well compared to most programmers in an office environment. Most office environments are TERRIBLE for productivity for most people ( most people don't even realize how much they are not working ). So 6 actual productive hours in a day is WAY ahead of the game and it is scalable across 7 days a week.
Another cool bit about my work units is that it takes me 15 minutes each way to/from the coffee shop. It's really nice having that time to rev-up and cool-down between sessions.
