    I am not one of these people but many find it difficult to work IN their home. They like the separation.

      I can’t imagine. I work at a little desk about a meter from my bed. It’s the best ever.

        My WFH setup is in a room by itself because I absolutely do not want to see it outside of 6:30am-3:00pm.

        Working from home is incredible but I like to have my life and career as separate as possible.

          That’s fair! I switch between my game machine and work computer, so at the end of the day, my work computer is disconnected. I have an… interesting job, so most of the day I’m laying in bed watching stuff anyway.

              I knew someone who used to monitor the transmission of porn (TV) channels. Apparently, it was the most boring, soul crushing experience. You lose all interest by about day 3. It also messes with your own love life.

          That was my setup. End of the day I would close the door and not think about work anymore. It’s easy to creep into working 24/7 if your not careful and you really enjoy what you do

        I used to have a setup like that. It drove me mad. I felt like I was a prisoner in my own home. I slept, worked, and played games all in the same room. I took some advice to build up a cheap space for JUST work and it helped me a lot. I think it’s just a person by person basis.

          Yah it definite varies. I LOVE my setup. My partner and I are hella introverts and spend all of our time together, almost entirely in our room. We have two high end game computers next to each other, hooked up to two different monitors so we can play games side-by-side. When I work I use my game setup, just switched to my work computer. My cats cuddle with me all day. I never wanna leave.

      If a Starbucks is better than home, then some people really need to fucking reassess their damn lives.

        It’s not that it’s better, it’s that it’s different

        It’s like not putting a TV in your bedroom so you associate the room with sleep and other bed activities
