So, I've now been working from home for four months, and the verdict is.......it's amazing. This should be more standard practice than it is.

@PipeManMusic What are the positives for you? Have you found you needed to change your environmental layout?
I was working from home for a while, and the biggest hurdle for me was finding the time to turn off work and shift in to "home" mode. Since my office was also where my leisure PC was, it made it hard to not work throughout the day
@PipeManMusic Oh man, I remember the joy of having my own private bathroom. It is one of the things I miss most.
My company is looking at increasing some of the WFH capabilities and I'm excited to get some days where I can have uninterrupted, heads down time.
I'm glad it is working well for you! Hopefully more places will adopt a distributed mentality. Not having long commutes can bring so much benefit to overall morale
@Neff @PipeManMusic Ali Wong has a great piece on wishing she could be a stay at home mom and have her own toilet. I can't find the video clip, but the whole show (Baby Cobra) is worth the watch.
@Neff
Positives:
1. My own toilet, I can't stress that enough.
2. Easier to eat healthy food as I can keep alternatives on hand.
3. Yoga mid day.
4. Since I remote into every meeting i used to have to attend in person, I can keep working during portions that don't apply to me. I'm honestly more productive from home.
Balance:
1. I work regular office hours just like I always have, also, I'm an hourly employee so that helps me keep the cap on things.
2. I have a work laptop and an identical personal laptop that doesn't have anything work related on it so I swap them in the dock at the end of the day for personal use.
