> Remote workers are in a cycle of procrastination and guilt

I've felt that at the office too. Not sure it is related to WFH for me.

WFH is a change. I'm not surprised some people wary about it. I guess it is healthy. This article, however, really goes far making WFH feel sad. My video calls feel nothing like "speaking to muted mics and webcams, wondering whether anybody is listening at all". We trust each others. Ever lived an in-person meeting where everybody is sleeping because of boredom and a big lunch just before? This kind of thing is possible both remotely and in-person.

Thanks to WFH I've been able to spend quality time with friends and family lately, not having to worry about how I should be able to reach a specific geographic place at all time, and I'm enjoying my colleagues too. Granted, it might take specific personalities, but I seem to fit personally and my colleagues too. Some people are not ready/wired for this, like in my previous company, and that's fine too.

At the office I guess the guilt is somewhat hidden by having "proof" that you were seemingly working.

Possible. Definitely didn't work for me however (xD). I'm accountable to myself (in addition to the colleagues / bosses) and that seems to suffice feeling guilt if I don't progress.
