I was one of those people who said

I could never work from home, I'd never get anything done.

but I've just started dipping my toes into working remotely and I find it rewarding, albeit challenging some times.

Some days are fantastic and I get a ton of stuff done. Other days are full of frustration because I can lose focus. That being said, over time, the days have become more consistently productive, with less high highs and low lows. I've found staying organized and communicating help a lot with motivation and focus.

There's a whole other set of skills you need to work on (like self-discipline) when working from home. At the start it was actually hard to get anything done, then I had a very productive day here and there. I like to think I'm learning and getting better.

Thanks for sharing your experience 👍 We've all been there. It gets easier (and more rewarding) as time goes on!
