WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Be Productive After Returning to the Office · 1 Nov 2021 podcast

No, I mean, there were like kids and, you know, people had their spouses suddenly at home. matched

We were in like tight spaces. matched

We didn't, you know, it happened overnight that we were stuck here. matched

leaf blowers in the suburbs we had this like great story about people being driven crazy by lawn care so yeah it was not it was not this like bastion of peace at home but i think people kind of got used to it and adjusted and a lot of people's kids have gone back to school so now it can be a little bit jarring to head back to the office yeah so how is this adjustment going back to the office different from when we had to adjust to working from home matched

When I'm hearing from my sources that like people are just so starved for socialization that they just want to like chat, chat, chat. matched

So I think it's like this weird moment, right? matched

Like where we're kind of like anxious and weird about going back to the workplace. matched

We don't really know where like the rules and boundaries are and we're like starved for socialization. matched

I think it's just kind of like this weird mess. matched

Yeah, they can really foster connection, which can then lead to like increased job satisfaction, increased wellbeing. matched

And that's especially true when the interruptions are not just like, oh, can you help me with this project? matched

But when they get a little bit more personal and social, I mean, it is good for us to, mostly good for us, you know, to talk to other humans and to kind of have that connection. matched

And it can smooth things down the line when it comes to work. matched

I mean, you know, a lot of our jobs are not just about checking off, you know, things on our to-do list, but they're about like, matched

getting buy-in from people and collaborating and have someone else understand, you know, when you kind of slip up and being able to be honest with people and trust them. matched

And so I think kind of socialization and these interruptions can actually help with that. matched

Right, right. matched

I mean, it's such a dilemma. matched

What I heard from experts is that you need a signal. matched

So whether that's closing your office door, if you have one, or getting a cubicle flag that you can raise when you are heads down with work, or even just putting on headphones, you need something that says I'm working. matched
