Not much in fact :)
Too many distractions, and even the commute time helps me have a decompression phase, so... Still going to the co-working every day!
I get really bored and sick or offices so I like that I can wake up or sleep longer before the start of my day, and know that other colleagues of mine feel comfortable with who we are on calls
Technology makes it easier - the internet has made it possible for all of us to be continually connected to the office. Tools such as Skype/zoom have made communication between colleagues and teams much easier and at times can lead to more efficient and effective meetings.
I love the flexibility, I can organize work around my personal life, not the other way around. It makes me think in different ways about how to be even more productive as I will have more free time, especially because it's not 8h work, so if I am efficient I can do everything in 5-6 hours.
Thank you for creating this discussion! Recently I faced with the same question, when I was developing a service to find a remote job in the USA (you can look at the link https://ucanremote.com/). After reading a lot of articles, I have identified several reasons that make people work remotely:
1. Flexible work schedule - you get more free time to spend with your family or on yourself
2. Work from anywhere - you can work not only from home but literally anywhere: from a café, a pool, or even anywhere in the world.
3. No dress code - you can work without pants ;)
4. New skills - You will learn new communication techniques and project management skills to bridge the physical gap between you and your team members. You'll also definitely have to learn project management skills and tightly control your workday.
5. Saving money - Saving on travel and lunch at work
Hope my answer helped you)
I can more easily organize my work time and my personal life without being stressed! I can also work where I want, in short I feel much freer! can also jog to work and sleep longer and it's great And you?
I like it because I own my time. I can plan my day according to my preference. I don't have to wear office clothes. No need to commute in crowded public transport or lose time in traffic jams. Zero distractions when I need to focus. Nothing can compare with the comfort of working from home.
I think the best part about working from home is having your own personal space where you can sit comfortably, in the kind of clothes that you feel comfortable in, and you have all the flexibility (provided your company is flexible with timimgs)
There is no issue of traffic or poor weather conditions, or getting ready every day- you can save time, energy, and mental peace from all this and give your best to work!
That my home can be anywhere. Since January 2021 I am working remotetly 50% of the time. I disocvered Coliving spaces in Tenerife and Normandie and I am looking forward to discover more this year in Bulgaria, Romania and on the Azores! Coliving is a great way to expand your network and it's just nice when there are other nice people around.
Oh, and I can work out more regularly because the commute to the gym is gone. My gym streams all group classes ... so my commute from desk to hallway is... 5 seconds :D
There's no need to commute to work (it's stressful) and I work better when I'm not in a crowded place (more productive). I still enjoy connecting to people but just not all the time.
I love working from home because it gives me the flexibility to plan my day and I don't get to commute daily which pretty much wastes my time and is a distraction.
The biggest advantage of working from home is that my work takes place solely at the pace that suits me best. I don't have to make extra expenses to fill up my car, I don't have to waste time on traffic jams and long waits. This way it's easier for me to concentrate and get into a work rhythm. That is why, when I was looking for open positions here , I chose to work remotely because I understood that I would have more time for my family, my friends and my job.
