Half of American workers would rather work from home forever: poll
I wonder if this is related to the long commutes Americans have gotten used to. I&#x27;m not in the US, and while I would say I definitely appreciate the flexibility of being able to work from home (or from &quot;not the office&quot;) every now and then, and I do like the present drop in meetings, I cannot fathom how people stay sane without a variety of other people around.<p>My productivity has definitely dropped, and it feels like my brain never really fully turns &quot;on&quot;. It feels a lot like those times in university I decided to study for exams from home instead of going to campus. I can&#x27;t explain it, but 9 out of 10 times it just feels bad, like the way your brain feels if you&#x27;ve spent the day watching TV or something (when, in fact, I haven&#x27;t). This doesn&#x27;t even begin to consider the social punctuations of work that are essential to my psychological well-being.<p>Does anyone feel the same? I&#x27;m a little bit worried that I just have a personality type that isn&#x27;t well-suited for the remote work culture that is likely to become more prevalent after this crisis is over. I&#x27;m in my early thirties, but I&#x27;ve felt this way for as long as I can remember, independently of whether I was in a relationship, whether I was working or studying, etc.
