Before the order was issued, his two kids had extracurricular activities, like soccer games and Sunday school. For him, he also used to have cocktail parties, seminars, and other events in the city.
He also traveled a lot before, to New York and Israel, among other places, which is an aspect of his career that he said he doesn't miss.
"I didn't realize how disruptive it is, but the travel is kind of a break in your normal circadian rhythm," he told Business Insider in an interview for this article.
Now he wakes up around 6:30 am per usual and has breakfast with his family. He starts taking calls by 8 am, sometimes earlier.
"I'm more efficient this way," Blumberg said. "I'm able to be on the call in my pajamas. I'm able to have my kids bring me tea or lunch or breakfast while I'm sitting at my desk, and I don't have to miss a conference call, board vote, or whatever."
He has a home office and can see the Pacific Ocean from his window — Blumberg lives in the city's Inner Sunset neighborhood on the western side of the peninsula.
"My commute is a minute downstairs and I don't have to drive all the way downtown and go to the parking lot, wind up the circular ramp, and four flights to get to my parking space," he said.
