Can we ever go back?

I honestly prefer working from home, but that seems to be a rarer opinion. I feel like it gives me the flexibility to fill the gaps with other productive or relaxing things. Even though I feel like my work environment is great, I feel pressured only do work-related things from 9-5 when I'm physically in the office.

At home, I can take a break to do laundry, study languages, go for a walk. Or if I'm just not in the mood to do work, I can do something else for a while and come back to it later. I love the flexibility. Perhaps I'll miss it after another month.

I'm loving all the personal space. Eye contact and shaking hands squicks me out. I'm even loving wearing a mask so I don't have to smile at random strangers. I've been cooking my own food, and not feeling guilty for sitting at home on a Saturday night. I'm gonna miss this.

Wrote a lengthy post supporting, but decided it’s not worth the overall sentiment here. Will just say this - you are not alone in liking WFH :)

Like most things, it’s a deeply personal choice and making claims about who can and cannot be productive in that environment is just projecting ones own personal biases. Do what works for you!
