I feel, mentally thinking your day is over is a bit harder than when you are at home and don't commute or change space.
Too much temptations for pushing your day a little bit because "hey, I don't commute 2 hours a day anymore, I could show my team I am committed to my work".
Plot twist: never do that, just take care of your family in this hard time. The world will not collapse in an hour, it's ok to quit when the day is over (If it wasn't obvious, I am self coaching my self now 😅).

If you have a kid to take care of, then it becomes somehow difficult. Plus if you are a working couple then it's like another level but with passing time you tend to manage to take care of the kid while WFH 🙂

This is especially true as there isn't anyone watching you...
Yeah, I don't have a proper chair to work from home, so sitting properly is even more of a challenge.

Avoiding the kitchen area 😅
You summed it up much better than my reply!~ 😁
So much this
Duelling conference calls in a small apartment.

The hardest part is controlling body weight.
(Gained about 7~8 lbs since WFH.)
Haha, cheers to that. ☕️
I drink waaaaay too much coffee when working from home!
That's something I can relate :)
But saying not drinking 4 coffees per day, you are saying 1-3 or 5+ cups per day are acceptable.

Words are ambiguous, unlike programming languages :p
I could be drinking 1~3 cups of coffee (+2 bottle of Monster) 😁
A quick "hey, let's talk about this" on slack takes away focus/attention...
