Reason #1: You reduce your efficiency
Working while moving around in a public place fragments your attention; these distractions cause you to stop what you’re doing and disrupt your concentration. As a result, you’ll naturally be less effective in that meeting.
Reason #2: You’re shortening your life expectancy
. Distractions increase your stress levels, your sense of exhaustion, and your fatigue. If you’re driving on the road, it even makes you a criminal: wearing headphones while riding a bike, scooter, or driving a car is dangerous and subject to a €135 fine.
Reason #3: You’re causing confusion around you
—when your mic isn’t muted, it quickly leads to background noise (cars, conversations, public transportation…), which, frankly, drives everyone crazy
Reason #4: You’re depriving yourself of an essential break from work
: Making the most of every spare moment of the day to work quickly leads to work encroaching on every little gap in our lives
Reason #5: You’re giving remote work a bad name
, La Rue-Nion lends weight to a tired argument: “Giving employees the freedom to work remotely opens the door to total chaos.”
Reason #6: You’re fueling an unhealthy work culture
: “rue-nion” erodes your private life and leaves little room to enjoy life’s lighter moments—even if they’re less highly valued. It also contributes to a persistent misconception that links hard work to success. You should therefore reserve “rue-nion” for personal emergencies only and, above all, never make it a habit.
