And aside from the health implications – both physical and mental – you do have to question the quality of anything being produced at 3am. Similarly VPN Surfshark has seen spikes in usage from midnight to 3am that simply didn’t exist before the current crisis. Networker NordVPN reports that ‘wake-up times’ may indeed be later but ‘peak email’ is now an hour earlier. With the forces that create our work/life balance removed, the danger is that some workers are now working too hard and never actually escaping work. And with the US Census Bureau finding that the average American commute is now 27 minutes per journey that’s almost an hour that home workers are (sometimes entirely) adding to their workday.īut the world of WFH isn’t all rosy. Over a year, that delivers up to 58 more hours of work from nowhere. Data from time tracking tool RescueTime, shows that home workers enjoy a 4% increase in core work and an 18% decrease in time spent on communication when compared to office workers. And by eliminating commutes, going out to buy lunch (or even change out of your pajamas), there’s more time to get more done. When you work at home, there are fewer interruptions from bosses or distractions from work colleagues eager to waste their day. All out of amazing new ideas? Maybe it’s time to take care of those invoices after all.

Don’t feel up to tackling that spreadsheet? Do something creative and fun instead. The freedom to sculpt your day around what you want to do, and when you want to do it, means that workers are always operating at peak intent. The greatest advantage of working from home centers around ‘freedom’. But what comes next as lockdowns creak open and a ‘WFH’ lifestyle increasingly feels like your own personal Groundhog Day? The 2020 health crisis has affected the way we all work and, after the initial shock to the system, more and more workers are discovering the benefits of working from home. Why choose between working from home (WFH) and going to the station?
