I’ll get downvoted to hell but I’m more productive at the office than at home. When you work at the office you need to dress up, take proper care of yourself, walk around and step by a cafe. All this starts the day positively and more prone to be mentally active.
Instead at home I personally feel more sluggish: I am with my pajamas on, wake up 10 minutes before clock in and stay alone the whole time.
I wake up every morning, shower, shave, trim my beard, put on clean clothes… I look good. Then I park my ass in my home office. I don’t feel right starting my day in pyjamas, never have… even on weekends.
I think it depends a lot on a person’s personality.
Myself I find it much harder to have the discipline to do that when working from home, plus it’s far easier to get distracted at home, so I chose to work from a coworking space which is about 15m walk from home.
Also, from the Covid days I found out I that for my own sanity I need to go out if only not to be inside all the time, which I get to do regularly with my current setup.
So as I see it you’re both right and as somebody else says, it’s only a problem when this forced on people.
I wake up earlier take a long shit/shower and get ready for the day before working at home in a clean environemnt, feels great
Get extra sleep, longer shower, more time to use the bathroom (usually dont have to go til im awake for a bit)
I should start blasting music tho, edm on my drive wakes me up and gives me hella dopamine, just don’t feel like I need it as much if I’m not traveling
Same for me, having to go outside, touch some grass and get some vitamine D on the way to work makes wonders both for my mental health and for my productivity.
I bet 80% of people who always cry about this commutes by car into an office in an office park in the middle of nowhere.
It’s that the complaints come out on Lemmy, or on Reddit, or elsewhere that’s extremely online.
I found lockdown quite enjoyable. My partner had grinding depression due to not having the stimulation and connection and support of being physically present with people, including at work.
That experience is common, but not amongst the vocal online lot!

And that’s ok, you do you. I prefer to work from home but that’s my personal choice and i don’t push it onto others.
The thing is, no one is telling you No! You should work from home!
Yet a lot of management are telling workers No! You should work at the office!

No one’s stopping you. It’s only a problem when this is forced on people. Some of us don’t need to go to work for any of that.
Yeah never said it should be forced on people 👍 I just like how it is for me
I wake up earlier take a long shit/shower and get ready for the day before working at home in a clean environemnt, feels great

Yeah I know that each one has their own. I’d hate to go to work sitting in a traffic jam for example
I don’t think I’ve ever had a job that paid well enough for me to do any of that tho
Same for me, having to go outside, touch some grass and get some vitamine D on the way to work makes wonders both for my mental health and for my productivity.

It was that or work at a gas station for 1/3 the pay. I’m just asking for a choice.
