Anyone else starting to enjoy wfh after disliking it for the first 2-3 weeks? No commute, less distractions, more flexibility - but definitely an adjustment. Would love to hear perspectives! Also...

I love it!! I haven’t worn makeup in weeks, so my skin has cleared up. I’m not exhausted from commuting and being in the office. I even sleep better! The only thing I miss is having stores and restaurants open. I don’t care for being in the office lol

Do you have kids? My elementary kid’s school is shut down and now they have to learn and complete a list of daily assignments from home. Being their teacher and trying to work at the same time is exhausting. I can see myself enjoying this WFH if I didn’t have kids that needed guidance and instruction to get thru their school work at the same time.

No kids (see OP comment) - I definitely see how that changes everything. Stay strong!

I love the flexibility! I’ve somehow managed to get on a project that doesn’t require a full 40 hours/week, which is the perfect project scenario for working from home. I can work on personal goals while I’m not busy with client work.

I’ve always wanted to learn more about yoga (history, benefits, breathing techniques Sanskrit names of poses, etc) but felt like I didn’t have the time. Now I have all the time in world so I’m spending it by taking a deep dive into yoga!

I hated it but I have so much more time in the mornings now. Haven’t worn makeup in almost a month, let my hair air dry, I can cook breakfast and I get a solid, healthy 3 meals a day, with healthy snacks. I have time to work out and even play video games, read books, you name it.

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.
