- bobthepanda 6y agoThis is too broad of a stroke to be brushing with. Personally, my mental health has gone worse for non-COVID reasons. I live in an apartment and the limited real estate means that it’s hard to dissociate work space from living space. I’m not the only person who lives in an apartment.
- samatman 6y agoI've been remote for three years. My favourite way to solve that dilemma used to be going to a cafe for a few hours. Guess what I haven't been doing since the pandemic started? At the moment I'm blessed with plenty of space, and the office is the office. But still fewer social outlets than I would like. Summer can't get here soon enough.
- bobthepanda 6y agoDifferent strokes for different folks. I don't really like cafes either. I tried it during a brief period when full lockdowns hadn't started yet but we were allowed to work from home. - Cafes are noisy. If you need to have a conversation, it's hard to hear the other person, and it can be hard to hear you, and you have to be mindful to not disturb you. - You have to pay your way at a coffee shop, and I enjoy supporting local business, but I don't need to consume all the calories and caffeine of a new drink every 1-2 hours. - Cafe seating isn't office seating, and if you sit too long in it you can tell. An aesthetically pleasing cafe chair isn't necessarily good for the back.
