The solution to the home-work separation, which also has potential to improve mental and physical health, is to go for a 20 minute brisk walk at start and end of the work-day.
- bobthepanda 6y agoPersonally I don't know why we need to keep prescribing one-size-fits-all solutions for people who may respond differently. Prescribing fully office was terrible, why is prescribing fully remote not?
- opan 6y agoForcing people into a specific building vs saying they can work anywhere. It's a massive difference. People throw around the term WFH, but you could really work anywhere. It's freedom.
- bradlys 6y agoThere are limits. You’ll be restricted by timezones and your ability to function in them. WFH doesn’t mean async.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoBecause prescribing simply, easy to agree with yet wildly inaccurate (by their very nature) rules of thumb for every situation is a quick easy way to rack up cheap virtue points. You get what you incentivize. See that number in the corner? That's why the solution for everything gets turned into lowest common denominator five world sentences.
- jjoonathan 6y agoThat's about as helpful as telling someone with depression to "just be happy."
- hoot 6y agoThey literally recommended something simple and physical that almost any person could do.
- bobthepanda 6y agoWithout any regard for whether it works for all people all of the time.
- jjoonathan 6y agoYeah, anyone who has already solved the actual problem by other means. Which is why it's like asking a depressed person to be happy.
- madcaptenor 6y agoMy kid is in day care, so I get that separation by dropping her off and picking her up. (Fortunately day care is close to my home, not to my office!)
