I started working remotely before the pandemic because it absolutely works for me. But part of that is that I have things that I do to get into and out of office mode. I get up and get dressed, make myself breakfast, and have a separate area where my office PC lives. When I'm done with work I leave my office. Even if I'm going to be back in there very shortly to record music (because my office doubles as my studio) I walk out of it physically. If I don't feel disconnected enough from work I'll change clothes or shower. The key is to always be intentional about it.

That's not in an effort to convince you of anything. Just giving you tools to keep in your toolbox in case you ever want to use them.

Some folks do way better in an office. Some don't. But I'm absolutely convinced the workers that want everyone back at the office really need someone to talk to because no one in their personal life wants to be their friend. They don't have a life with interests and hobbies. But the people that want to go back to the office because it's better for them, I absolutely support y'all! I think you're great.

At the moment I live in an apartment with two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and a walk in closet, it is 70m2, I would love to have a separate room to go and do work in, but it is just not feasible here.

I recently installed a two meteter long office desk (can be risen and lowered naturally), I have my normal home computer on one side and a workspace for when I work from home, it is far better than remoting in from my home machine, so improvements are being made

I get it. And that's part of (but certainly not the only) the reason it's not for everyone. Even if you had 200m² it might not be for you because some folks just honestly do better in the office, but at 70 it's going to be psychologically difficult for almost anyone. You've made good headway with the separate work workstation on your desk.

Yeah, when using RDP from my home machine, it was far too easy to alt tab into a game....
