Looking around at other replies it seems that pretty consistently the folks that are taking this the worst are the ones who live in small urban apartments, and the ones who are getting by better are those who chose to live far out in the burbs or rural areas with bigger homes and a dedicated office space. Im in the second group and am taking it pretty well—I certainly don’t miss my 4+ hour per day commute, and I am dreading going back to having to be in the office. But I can also see how this is pretty much prison for people who decided to live in the city.
I never thought I’d like remote work or could be productive that way, but now I’m convinced. But I definitely need the private space to do it. I could never do this from a 400 sqft apartment.
