I never understand the pro office people, well merely jealousy I suspect, whenever I’m in the office no one does any work, always just sat around chatting with a brew.

Most of them end up bringing their work home anyway, my missus is one of them.

Don’t know what made up job you have (probs none) but we have deadlines at mine. I never, ever miss mine. Doesn’t matter how many eps of Loose Women people watch if their work is getting done on time.

Made up job I'm a bricklayer you wouldn't know what a hard day is

I WFH full time. You lose a bit, the banter and the face to face contact but you gain a lot too. Extra time in bed, no defrosting the car on cold winter mornings, you don't have to smell the colleagues with bad personal hygiene and you save a fortune (commuting costs, buying food out, calling at shops for bits on the way home etc.)

Teams meetings are much easier than face to face too, you don't even have to listen. At the end, someone makes a good point and I say "I'd just like to echo Andy's sentiments there" and add a bit of waffle on and they think I've been paying attention the whole time.

I think a good routine is important too, get up and have a shower, stretch my legs and get a bit of fresh air if the weather permits before work, out again for a walk or sit in the garden at dinner and get out most weekends to see friends or family and not be a hermit. Wfh isn't for everyone but if it works for you it's the ultimate in work-life balance imo.

WFH isn't my cup of tea. My commute is the only time during the week I don't have someone (Mrs, kids, clients) demanding my attention and I can just sit on the train and read a book.

Full time WFH coming up for 5 years. Visit the office 1 or 2 days a month on average.

It has been both the best and worst thing that's happened in my working life. Plenty benefits but it can be isolating and if you struggle with attention and procrastination like I do then it can be a disaster at times. Hybrid would probably suit me best but I'm too far from the office for it to be practical so WFH it is.
