I adapted to WFH well but - and that's a big one - I had multi-year experience working solo from home, for multiple years, before COVID started. Back when I started working solo around 10 years ago, I remember it wasn't easy and it took me a long time to find out how to do it right (e.g. things like "you still need to decide what your working hours are", or "you need self discipline" etc.). Back then, I remember having a hard time and I could not wait to get back to an office - which I did around 2015. But this second time around, I knew what to expect and I was able to adapt well from the start. Plus I have awesome coworkers and boss, that makes things a lot easier. We do things like virtually hang out once a week to play games etc. - that helps with not feeling lonely. EDIT: but the biggest difference is probably that I now have a family. Back then I had flatmates, but I guess it's not the same.
