Really agree with the point of pressure, that having a bad day whilst working from home feels way more terrible than having one while at the office (production-wise)

Since I work in sales, I am stuck to the typical 9-5 availability schedule.

If I feel like I'm in a rut, I go to a coffee shop to change it up. I have one 40 feet from my front door, or I take a longer walk on a nicer day to the coffee shop I frequented from my last apartment.

It forces you to shower, dress like a real human being and can sometimes substitute for that human interaction.

Agree with many of these points. I've worked from home for the last 3 years and I love it, but it definitely has it's downsides.

I think the worst for me is not being able to switch off at 5pm. Without the journey home to empty my mind a little, I do find myself thinking about work for the rest of the night.

You know I find that going to the gym right at 5 helps me stay healthy and do just that, clear my head. Force yourself to leave the house.

Ha, have to look like a human, too true! Sadly, sometimes I have to think about when the last time I was outside. Not good.

I work from home & I keep my work emails in a separate software, at 5, I just quit the software. That does the job!
