Almost a year into the pandemic, working from home may be growing stale for some<\/a>. While remote work has offered a solution for millions of people during the COVID-19 crisis, the months of trying to stay productive while isolated from coworkers\u2014but crammed in with other members of your household\u2014is taking its toll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For starters, there\u2019s a lack of physical space for those who don\u2019t have the privilege of a home office. One survey by Hinge Health<\/a> found that just one-third of people have dedicated office space in a separate room. Though most in the survey had a desk, many respondents say that they\u2019ve been working at their dining table or on their couch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another survey found that 59 percent of workers<\/a> say home distractions have been their biggest challenge. That\u2019s no surprise considering that many of them live with partners, roommates, or schoolchildren who are also working and schooling from home, making it nearly impossible to get into a work groove without interruption. And while Zoom meetings<\/a> are helpful, having no in-person contact limits the opportunities for collaboration<\/a> and impromptu creative discussions. <\/p>\n\n\n
