Yeah working from home full time for me is like cheating on a diet. It sounds great at first, and for a few weeks you eat whatever you want and you don't notice much change.

Then all your clothes stop fitting.

Working from bed is like eating ice cream for breakfast. Sounds great, nice maybe once as a treat, then becomes horrible.

I need structure, routine, and not having to go into work makes enforcing that routine so much harder.

I think you have to make a routine, rather than hoping one is provided for you. I am not a routine person, but for me showering, opening up Slack, and switching Chrome profiles is how I transition from "home" to "work". I don't do "home" things during work hours, and I don't do "work" things during "home" hours. Even though I'm at the same desk. For me, it works as well as commuting did, without 30 minutes of being frustrated at the subway.

(I admit that I do do some "home" things at work, like laundry. That mostly involves turning on the machine and tending to it in an hour, so not a big time commitment but nice to get done during the day.)

If I never have to go back into an office routine again, my life will be much, much better for it. To each their own.
