Whole universities are setting up their equipment properly from remote study and forcing lecturers to learn how to use it. Which is also interesting. Working from home is incredibly bad for your mental health of course. Same as studying one assumes.

Its bad if you don't have an active social life and/or are doing it exclusively from home. The WFH arrangements mostly being discussed are more about working 1-2 days a week from home.

  > A 2015 study from Stanford University in California found that productivity among call-center employees at Chinese travel agency Ctrip went up by 13% when they worked from home due to fewer breaks and more comfortable work environments. This study which they (And everyone repetitively) quotes, was fulltime. But part time and for periods when other things in someones life are stressful, I agree it can make sense. Same for part time study. "The flat wage <> averaging around ¥1,300 per month. The bonus portion depended on the individual’s monthly performance and averaged about ¥1,000 ($160) per month." I'm dubious why this study keeps getting quoted, it's not great to compare too.

I've learned that VR can eliminate some of the stir craziness you get.
