I suspect, because of Covid-19, a lot of people have just been thrown into remote-working like they've just been thrown into a swimming pool fully clothed.
Not an ideal first experience, but they'll have time to get used to it.
Can't beat my favourite tunes, control of my time, conversations, no distractions but for my wife. Socialise when I choose to. Remote working ftw.
I've got a great office setup and am used to working from home, sometimes for a week or two at a time, depending on circumstances, but WFH during COVID-19 feels like something else entirely.
I don't even have kids to take care of, but some combination of 1) having my wife home during the day, 2) the feeling of being cooped up (even though I get outside time walking my dog in my suburban neighborhood), and 3) the foreboding feeling of existential dread taking a toll on my mental health has cut my productivity in half.
Being able to close the door when you need to focus really, really helps.
A lot like having an office in the old days. Having a defined working space and being able to shut it off when needed.
