In certain ways I feel there is more productivity as a result of WFH: focus is a wonderful thing. But it does require intrinsic motivation as there is no "I hope my co-workers don't notice me watching cat videos" or whatever to shame you away from goofing off and motivate you to get work done. I'm in somewhat of an internal consulting role which I do find harder to achieve remotely. Previously, 40% of my work came from chance interactions by bumping into the right person at the right time or seeing a meeting happening that I probably should have been part of. Now, I have to be very intentional to create those chance interactions and it feels awkward. I find myself leading more activities and doing little consulting as everyone is happy to work within their own silo. Ultimately, I'm on the fence with it all. My role expectations will probably need to change a bit.

I will say...if I'm going to be remote working full time then I'm moving somewhere better...both location and house!
