I have been WFH for more than a decade. I love it. Being a planned transition, I prepared for it, set things up properly, have appropriate separation, etc. If someone didn’t know, they would have no idea that I wasn’t in some type of office. No doorbells, kids screaming, dogs barking, because of a proper setup. In spite of this, I have been pretty worthless the last couple of weeks, primarily due to all the distractions of what’s going on. When you consider that for many people, WFH started immediately with little time to prepare a proper setup, who are also trying to figure out how to be part-time teachers, PLUS the distraction of the current state of events, I suspect that most companies that didn’t do WFH before the crisis will reconvene when this is all behind us and say “WFH was a disaster, productivity was trash, and we’ll never do it again.” If that happens, it would be a sad outcome, because under proper circumstances WFH can be a great lifestyle benefit with equal or greater productivity than an office environment.
