I am someone who was very skeptical about working from home.  When they
first sent us home during COVID, I didn't think it would last long.
However, it really worked pretty well.  The folks who were productive
continued to be so.  I worked in a "cube farm" so I personally found it a lot
easier to get most tasks done without the interruptions (intentional and
accidental) of being in the office around others... especially those who
see being in the office as time to socialize.

I was starting to burn out some but, with not having to go into the office
every day, I got to where I didn't dread "going to work" most days.
Considering that we were in the middle of a pandemic, being able to say my
mental health was somehow better is a plus.

I do live alone. I did not get lonely.  ;)

I also found that I ate a little better as I had time to make my lunches at
lunchtime rather than carrying a sack lunch.
