assuming since you do a stand up that you write code? Do you work in the library/cafe? Do you socialize with other people there? Do you have some agreement with the local cafe that you are working etc? I am remote and would love to do this. I also struggle because my home office is great (multiple monitors, proper keyboard and mouse , big desk) do you not miss some creature comforts? |

- I do most of my work from library/cafe-- usually 1-2 hours at home, 4-6 hours at cafe/library.
- I don't socialize much-- Occasionally chat with barista to get to know them. Or occasionally with other patrons.
- Nah, I've never had an issue with cafes letting me sit for hours and work-- I always buy coffee and/or food. If I didn't buy anything, I imagine it would eventually piss off the barista/manager/owner a bit. Sometimes I have too much coffee and get drowsy or jittery
- Nah, I don't miss the creature comfort of big desk & 27" screen-- I trade it for the opportunity to get out into social spaces. Otherwise I'd be lonely at home. If I am under pressure to get something done fast, sometimes it's easier at home. Currently my "home" is a studio apartment ($800/month, all bills paid except internet).
I think if I had roommates or lived in a more communal place (Such as housing coop) I'd be more interested in spending more time working from home. But since I am alone there, it feels too lonely.
