Showerthought: I cut out all small talk at the office and my work got way better

I used to waste time chatting with everyone. Now I just focus on my tasks, and I finish things faster with less stress.

My quick 5 minute chats actually make the whole day smoother.

Is the isolation worth it? I mean, some days it feels like I'm talking to my plants for real feedback. At least they don't complain about my ideas, but they're also terrible at quick chats.

Ever feel isolated now, or is it worth it?

Is the isolation just part of the deal for you too, @the_parker? What makes it worth it on your bad days?
