Ask HN: What remote work dreams didn't come true for you?
10 by lastofthemojito | 7 comments on Hacker News.
I know some folks have worked remotely for years, but a vast number of us are coming up on 2 years of working remotely instead of being in the office 5 days a week. Life is different now, but not as I expected. And I also don't feel like I'm as good at it as I expected. Looking back to the days before I worked remotely, it sounded amazing - no commute, no dress code, no obnoxious cube neighbors, etc. And those aspects of remote work haven't disappointed. On the other hand, I always felt like if I was working from home I'd find ways to exercise while working and I'd work on language learning by immersing myself in foreign language audio (news, music, podcasts, whatever). Neither of these panned out. Maybe partially because my work projects have been extra-demanding, maybe partially because I don't multi-task/context-shift well. What remote work dreams didn't come true for you (or alternatively, how did you make your remote work dreams come true)?
