I’ve been testing this with @Épiphanie Gédéon for a few months now, and it’s really, really good for doing more work that’s intellectually challenging. In my opinion, the most important sentence in the post is the fact that it doesn’t help that much during peak performance moments, but we’re not at our peak that often. And so, it’s super important. It’s really a big productivity boost, especially when doing cognitively demanding tasks or things we struggle to “eat the frog”. So, I highly recommend it.
But the person involved definitely needs to be pretty intelligent to keep up and to make recommendations that aren’t useless. Sometimes, it can feel more like co-working, there are quite a few different ways it can work, more or less passive/active. But overall, generally speaking, we recommend trying it for at least a few days.
It took me quite a while to take the plunge because there’s a social aspect—this kind of thing isn’t very common in France. It’s not considered a real job. Although, honestly, it should be a real job for intellectual professions, in my opinion. And it’s not an easy job.
