How would things be if you had a home more suitable for working at home? I currently live in a 1br apartment, with a 15 month old and my wife, and yes it is hard when I work from home. Fortunately in my country the pandemic has been handled well, and I am still able to go to my office (25 desks, usually no more than 5 are occupied now). I imagine if we lived in a house, with a garden, enough bedrooms that my work desk isn't 2m from my bed, it would be a completely different story. If you don't need to go to the office very often then living further out the city would not be that big a deal. In my area a 3br home with a garden is around the same price as a 1br apartment in the city.

To be honest I actually have a pretty good environment at home. Relatively spacious apartment and single, but it's not helping much. When I work from home I don't even feel like it makes a difference if I shower or not and put pants on, kind of depressing in itself after a while. I guess I'm also at the other end of the spectrum though. I generally enjoy open plan offices, just sitting down having lunch with folks at work, going for drinks afterwards. Being holed up at home or stuck with family over long periods of time I always feel like I'm going to turn into Jack Nicholson in the Shining or something
