Great article and good discussion going on in the comments. I personally am going through very interesting transition. My company has decided to let people work remote or from the office so I have 2 days work from office (T,W) and 3 days work from home (M,Th,F) schedule. Here is my observation for last 2 years (working in bay area)
Days I am working from home
- I have better energy in the morning and evening due to no commute.
- I work way more and focus on personal diet and health way less because of no set schedule.
Days I go to office
- I feel more energetic during morning and afternoon. This is mainly due to socializing with colleagues and working with humans face to face.
- I get out more, go for walk, have lunch with people outside.
- Evenings are dreadful with 1/2 hr commute.
- No energy at night.
My personality is such that I like to be around people and like to get out. Remote work sort of stops me from doing that however if I go to the office everyday then commute kills me.
Have not found the answer to this problem yet.
- subsection1h 8y agoYou "focus on personal diet" less when working from home? At home, you have 100% control over all the ingredients in all your meals. When I worked in a office years ago, I frequently ate donuts and pizza because they were free. LOL.
- cryptozeus 8y agoI know its crazy but at office I have whole food and other great options next door. I just walk over there to eat, at home I have to cook the meal or do doordash which does not have good options
