I think all the people who say they have a hard time working at home either have no discipline or live in a hole in the wall. I love wfh in my mansion with sprawling space and triple screen monitors.

I just don’t like the company at home.

Agreed. My home office has a better view, better coffee machines and snacks I actually want to eat. Can’t beat the parking spot I get, either!

Uh yes, accurate. I struggle w discipline at home, but more importantly my small apartment in my T1 city isn’t the best for working from home. My apartment is pretty large for my location, but still absolutely not equipped for both my partner and I WFH for weeks. Please have some empathy. Not all of us have mansions. I’m nervous about being productive and not stepping on each other’s toes/murdering each other.

Haha thanks. I will applaud myself if I don’t murder my SO too, lol ;) Best of luck to all.

Not sure about that D2. My property is in Long Island so I’m not far from the city but the prop taxes here are killer.

Easy to have enough discipline if you have a great living space but it’s hard to have enough discipline when you live with 4 other very loud people lol

Time to make use of those used socks

It doesn’t affect my work but affects my mind. My window faces a wall and I have no natural light. I literally feel like a prisoner...

I have a 4K sq ft house and I struggle with working from home. Do love my dual monitors though.
