i’ve read articles that suggest the line between work and life is actually more blurred due to WFH and people just end up working longer. logically it makes sense when it’s all happening in your home.
For me the fact that the line between work and home gets blurred reduces stress by a huge amount. No longer do I have to do all my work in a specific 8-hour window. I don’t have to be ‘on’ for 8 consecutive hours anymore. I can do a few hours of work, do some mindless chores around the house, then go back to work. If I’m stuck on a problem, I can just take a break instead of sitting at my desk going in circles. I’m more productive and more relaxed since the start of the lockdown.
In addition, just the fact that I have access to a fully equipped kitchen makes a world of difference when it comes to breakfast and lunch.
