Probably a vastly unpopular opinion in HN but don’t we think sitting at home alone all day, working remote, could be related?
Humans evolved to be physically social, is 100% remote really the right direction for American society?

The way the work is organised and other factors that make home and surroundings not social for many people may be a factor. But looking at the remote work specifically here feels like holding the wrong end of the stick.

It is hard to be happy when your physical condition is a mess.
Personally, I never have quite as good of a day as when I start my day with an hour walk. Literally never and I have performed this experiment over a thousand times now.
Get to spend more time with family/friends or personal projects.
Edit: want to add that I also finish my work in less than half an actual work day (2-3 hours). Compared to in office, the same tasks took 4-5 hrs due to constant nagging, interruptions.
