What's the #1 challenge you have related to working remotely?

Oh man! Where to begin? 1. Internet speed is always a challenge. 2. Distractions around the house 3. Increased working hours (generally I find myself starting work earlier and finishing later). But the benefits are huge for me as well such as: 1. Saving time from travel 2. Greater flexibility to run life errands 3. And generally happier, whilst I do miss the office sometimes being in a building (regardless of the size) with dozens of other people generally means I'm not as comfortable as being at home in my own space.

Back health from all the sitting in front of screenssssssss, taking time to break from a flow and get up and go for a real walk without feeling guilty for not working

Staying focused for prolonged periods of time. I feel like in office it was much easier to have longer working stretches whereas at home, I take more frequent breaks in order to have focused time

I am a people person, I love in person communication and the ability to brainstorm and feed off the energy of the discussion. Remote work makes this very hard. That is it for me. Great topic @nishith_shah

For me it is the inability to connect with people and talk to my colleagues about things that don't always revolve around meeting agendas. Generally, I felt like a lot of social spontaneity was lost. Also, I've had employers who wanted their teams to spend 8-hours in Zoom calls so that they could monitor us which was crazy.

If I work from the office- there are fixed office hours WITH breaks If I work from home- I am literally working ALL. THE. TIME. I know this is not right but when you have to go to the office, it is like mental conditioning that it is your WORK space and you do major work only in your work space. But with the concept of "work from home" your home becomes your workspace and, yeah you get my point I suppose

I admit that I get distracted easily when I work but I get to work whenever I want

Connectivity is the main problem while working remotely. You can connect to your colleagues through Microsoft teams. Visit techjockey.com to buy teams at discount price.

I have probably given different answers to similar questions before. However, lately I started to notice that the actual (overall) challenge is getting out regularly + moving more. In reality, there is more free time and flexibility, but somehow remote work makes me less dynamic / active physically. Any tips on that?

The creeping sense of isolation that can come on from being physically disconnected. The problem can be overcome (and I do)… it’s my #1 personal challenge though.
