For the last few months, many of us needed to work from home, due to the surge of the novel coronavirus. With this, many old supporters of remote work seem to be triggered into advocating the benefits of it. But like everything that has an upside, working away from your office also brings its disadvantages.

Working remotely can be a breath of fresh air, allowing you to take care of your children when they are sick, to take your car to the mechanic, or even to take some time without having someone interrupting your focus time to ask if you have that report ready. When done right, it can bring balance to your life. But the truth is, it often brings several problems to people, especially during these times where social interactions are kept to a minimum.
