I applaud the author on being honest with herself about the downsides of WFH. I've worked from home a lot over the past 10 years. There's definite benefits and it helped me sometimes knock some shit out. In my experience, doing it day in day out is so difficult that very few people can do it well. I get why people want it, but like others pointed out here, it causes depression. There's no real boundaries, it's ground hogs day and self motivation starts tough and gets tougher. Its similar to the negative feedback cycle of feeling like shit and not wanting to get out of bed, so you stay in bed and feel even more like shit tomorrow.


*herself - just in case that perspective matters.


Thank you!
