Does working from home in Skyrim VR increase productivity?

"Outside of the income generated from his channel, YouTuber habie174 also earns a living via a standard 9-5 job that allows him to work from home. But as more and more remote workplaces are implementing return-to-office policies, habie147 fears his days as a remote worker may be numbered, and wants to find a way to make the most of his homebound workplace productivity before he's dragged back to in-office work. The solution? Stop working from home, and start working from Tamriel."

"The content creator (who frequently makes content about VR games) just uploaded a video of an experiment in which he spends his entire workday inside , in the hopes it will keep him from getting distracted by the constant urge to check his phone. "Would I even feel the need to scroll [on social media] if the view from my desk was a giant phosphorescent mushroom?" habie147 asks, referencing Skyrim's various appealing environments."

"Habie147 initially tries to find a decent spot within the city limits of Whiterun or Solitude, but finding the perfect workspace isn't as easy as one might think. "Looking for good office space in Skyrim is like looking for a sex toy in a grocery store, because it makes you think, 'Why am I doing this here?'" he explains, before eventually taking a seat on a tree stump at an abandoned campsite, summoning his workplace desktop via "a little SteamVR black magic," and clocking in."

Habie147 supplements income with a YouTube channel and a standard 9-5 remote job and worries that return-to-office policies may end his ability to work from home. He experiments by spending an entire workday inside Tamriel via VR to reduce distractions and the urge to check social media. He searches for a suitable workspace in Skyrim, tries Whiterun and Solitude, then settles at an abandoned campsite and summons his desktop with SteamVR. He assigns himself tasks—marketing emails, QuickBooks, a PowerPoint, contact farming—and aims to stay employed. The experiment is interrupted when an NPC mugs him at knifepoint.
