I spent 3 months fully remote, and by the end I was fully depressed. There’s something about looking at the same walls of my apartment for 14 hours a day that just did not work for me at all. I would occasionally go to coffee shops or whatever but it didn’t change the isolation. I had no idea how much I leaned on being in a shared physical location with my coworkers. It’s hard to know until you try it; I think you need to be in a very specific work situation and have a certain disposition for it to work well.

- chiefalchemist 7y agoRecently started a FT WFH job with a semi-flexible schedule. Prior I was self-employed (consultant / freelance) and made my own schedule, etc. The adjustment to the new schedule wasn't too bad per se. That said, at the first opportunity possible I'm going to ask for some budget to get a day (or two) per week at a co-working space. For me and how I'm wired that would make a massive difference.
