I didn’t read the article because it’s behind a paywall but going off the title, I 100% agree. I work at a FANG company and have been told to stay home. I get so damn stir crazy sitting at home all day. Not to mention I have zero dedicated space to actually work. I can’t wait for my office to open back up.

> Not to mention I have zero dedicated space to actually work.

This is key for me. I can work from home without a problem. I've even started and run entire companies from home. However, I absolutely must have a room which is entirely devoted to work. It's an important psychological thing -- when I'm in the room, I'm "at work" and when I'm not, I'm "off work".

This also provides an important clue to others in the house about when I can and cannot be disturbed.

Without a dedicated space, I cannot work from home with any significant degree of productivity -- and I'll quickly burn out.
