The Remote Work Compromise No One Talks About

Remote work gave us flexibility. It also dissolved the boundary between work and home in ways most of us are still learning to navigate.

The hidden costs

Loneliness. Always-on culture. The slow erosion of shared context that used to happen in hallway conversations.

What helps

Rituals. Dedicated start and stop times. Going outside before opening your laptop. Annoyingly simple, surprisingly effective.
