I could never do this.
1) My back would hurt after a half hour of this.
2) My brain would not be engaged in a state of too much comfort. (i.e. I'd get sleepy). In fact, I even keep my work room in the house kinda cold (by not putting in a heater) so I can be more alert.
3) I'm a developer so I need a full keyboard and multiple screens.
4) Most importantly, I need a clear separation or line of delineation between work and rest. I don't want to mix the two together. The thought is as perverse to me as eating while taking a shit.

- pottertheotter 6y agoI'm the same. I've been WFH for a while and I need to get up, take a shower, get dressed, and go to my desk or I never really get going. Sometimes I'll do some work on a laptop on the couch, but it's the type of work where I'm more casually looking up information. Or I'll print out something I need to read and go to the couch. Otherwise, I'm so much more productive and engaged when I'm at my desk with keyboard, mouse, and monitor. My wife is the polar opposite. We're lucky to be in a situation where we can both have dedicated home offices at this time. We already had a desk for her, but her work let her take home a good chair, and two monitors with a stand. We set up a really nice office for her, but I'd say that she works from bed or the couch 95% of the time. In fact, the only time she uses her office is when she has an important video call. I don't know how she does it, and I still believe that she would be more productive/efficient at a desk. For me, just having the extra screen real estate and a keyboard and mouse are enough for me to want to be at my desk.
