WFH works for some people, but not all people. I'm one of the people it works for, and I've been doing it since 2015. For me it's great because: - No more alarm clock - No more noisy office - No more beng pulled aside for every little thing - No more people dropping in - No more unhealthy lunches at the food trucks or some restaurant. - I can just pop out quickly to get some task done. - Tons more free time since I don't commute - My choice of location. I lived and worked out of a farm for years. At the end of the work day I'd move the irrigation lines and then kick back on the porch with a beer and watch the sun set over the fields. My commute time was spent on farm chores instead. But it does require some new habits: - Have a set start and stop time and stick to it religiously. Outside of those hours, do no work related activities. - Develop good cooking and food habits. Newer gadgets like instant pots, air fryers and sous vide cookers make this MUCH easier. - Make sure you get at least 10 minutes of some kind of exercise per day. Better yet 20. - Take breaks and go for walks outside. - Have a rotation of places to work from. And there are some people who just don't work well in this kind of environment: - Maybe they need a communal feel, even if they're not actually talking to people. - Maybe they need face-to-face contact with at least some regularity. - Maybe they need to hang out with at least some regular people during the workday. - Maybe they need a clear, physical distance separation between work and home. - Maybe they need a regimen where the actions are built-in to the system rather than self-imposed (having to go to an office that has a set start and end time, office rules, etc) And that's fine. Each to their own. At my workplace, there's an office that people can go to if they want, or work from home. Their choice. And it's cheaper for the company since the office doesn't need to have a spot for every person.
