    A significant portion of the population could work from home, but no. Not painful enough.

      Even working local, rather than global would be less painful.

      I don’t mean “local” as in “a few suburbs over”, I mean “local” as in walking distance from home.

          During lockdowns, I would get up at my usual time, shower, dress in work uniform and walk around the block and then go straight to my desk. At the end of the workday, I would shutdown my computer and go for another walk around the block.

          I think it can be important for some people to have a physical seperation for their work place and their living space. For some people a closed office door in the home is enough separation, for others it isn’t.
