We love remote work. But it also has its disadvantages! What's the most problematic to you, and how do you deal with it?

I found myself keep getting distracted and demotivated if I stay home 😶🌫️ So I basically go out and work as an office worker, except my office is the coffee shop 😂

I really really love it 💚but I think something that is challenging is not seeing people or not talking to anyone during the day.
@biglysales I agree, and also, the interactions in virtual meetings are far from being similar to those in person. How do you deal with this? I make sure to keep a social agenda outside work, but it's not always easy when you have many responsibilities!
@martina_hackbartt Yes yes ! I like to go do cafes and work outside of home for a few hours.☕️ I also like to take walks when I have spaces and think of something else !🙌🏻.
Onboarding 'in the void' can be challenging.

Isolation for sure.
@carter_barnett Absolutely. How do you deal with it?

@martina_hackbartt I find getting out of the house for work has been a huge help.

@carter_barnett Same! I need to get out of the house and work, couldn't stand the lonely vibe 😶🌫️
When you work from home, it can be hard to separate work and personal time. I've had to set limits and make a designated workspace to help me stay focused during work hours and disconnect when the day is over.
@sanders_mitche This is the main issue for me too. And I do not have enough space to separate the places where I sleep, study, work, eat, and have fun. But it's something I know I need to solve in the near future!
@sanders_mitche @martina_hackbartt to get around this issue I have strict rules. Work starts at 9, no earlier, and ends at no later than 5-30 with the work laptop going to sleep.
I can often get distracted or procrastinate. sometimes I stay late for lunch and then finish work late at night
