How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you? (kbin.social)

I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

Full remote. Can’t imagine going back to an office at this point. There are good days and bad days with distractions. It takes a decent amount of restraint to not do random tasks around the house.

Surprisingly, this really isn't an issue with me. Even when both my partners and our son are at home, I tend to be able to focus as long as nothing is actively going sideways. My problem tends to be the opposite most days - I get so caught up in what I'm doing that I forget to do normal things like eating.

I find this amazing. Sometimes I get into a zone but it never lasts a whole day.

I get easily distracted as well. I battle this by using the Pomodoro productivity method. This fits my short attention span AND allows me distraction time.
