If I understand correctly, the type of data that's contained in the files is much more important the format. As a starting point, is there anything that's stopping you from reading the files in Python (pandas) for example and doing some simple outlier detection (interquartile ranges, standard deviations)?

I miss having clear separation between the time/space for work and time/space for leisure. I do keep the same hours but even my commute (provided that it isn't horrible) has the value of telling my brain "work starts now" in the morning and then "work ends now" at the end of the day.

Can anyone with a better economic understanding share their thoughts on how viable this is? From a layman's point of view, it seems like the FED are using up a lot of their arsenal very quickly.

1. I find that a good office environment combined with an easy commute is way better for my productivity and mental health than working from home.

2. Having some degree of in person communication with your team makes everyone's work better. This isn't an argument for meetings or small talk, my point is that some meetings and conversations can only be done well in person.

3. I live in a big city, rent a single room and can't afford a home office - working, relaxing, eating and sleeping in the same space isn't my ideal lifestyle.

So to be willing to work remotely all the time, I need to have an employer who is willing to pay for me to set up a productive home office environment - separate room, good desk, screens etc. Only to make me 80-90% as productive as I would be if I had a good office environment and got to meet my colleagues.

In a previous role, the office environment was great and my commute was a 20-minute walk - I never took the option to work from home even though I could have.
