We're social beings. People need people.

We need to have purpose. I think work provides an avenue to fulfill a purpose – or at least the feeling of it.

Feeling productive is good for the soul.

To maintain a standard of living.

We're creative beings.

Willpower. Gotta get jamming on this new project, but Netflix says you still have 4 episodes of Tiger King to watch...

Difficulty sticking to a routine. The order you do things at work is almost never the order you do things at home. It can be tough to mirror your schedule and processes once outside the office.

Missing important calls or pings. Oops, my phone was on do not disturb and I missed a meeting! Or my boss slacked me and asked to prioritize something else and now it’s 4:45pm ...

Calling UberEats anyways. You thought you were saving money, didn’t you? Blam-o! $20 minimum and a $5 fee for the higher rated Thai place. Should’ve remembered to buy bread …

Power naps. This could arguably be in advantages… unless it accidentally lasts 45 minutes after your delivered double entree Thai lunch.

Boredom. Those office convos? Kinda missing Susan’s cat stories, eh? How long can you go without seeing another living human being?

Working slowly. Sometimes the office has an energy. Sometimes your home does not.

No second monitor. How did I ever work without two giant screens looming above me??? All 74 of my tabs are essential!

Iffy WiFi. At home or in a cafe, when the WiFi starts to spaz and you switch locations a couple of times but honestly spend more time parking and ordering a 6-shot mint mojito coffee with coconut milk and 16 grains of sugar than doing work.
