"Peak Peace And Productivity": Google Techie In Bengaluru Calls Moving To 2BHK "Best Decision"

A Google employee based in Bengaluru recently shared on social media that moving into a 2BHK flat and setting up a dedicated workspace in one of the rooms has been a game-changer for his productivity. In a post on X, Priyansh Agarwal said that he considers this decision the best one he's made this year, highlighting the benefits of having a spacious and organised work environment.

Mr Agarwal shared that although a significant portion of his salary now goes towards rent, the peace and productivity he's gained make it worthwhile. This experience has made him understand why people prefer living alone.

"The best decision I have taken this year is to move into a 2BHK alone and dedicate 1 room to just my workspace. Now a big chunk of my salary goes into just rent but I am getting peak peace and productivity. It has made me realise why people like to live alone," the post on X read.
