Amy Morin. Courtesy of Amy Morin Working from home can feel a bit liberating while also a bit mundane. And over time, every day might blend together when your only coworker is your cat. For individuals who live alone, remote work can be quite isolating. No matter how many Zoom meetings you might have, staring at people through a screen might make you feel more disconnected than ever. On the other hand, some remote workers would give anything to get a few minutes of silence. Dealing with kids who are trying their hand at remote learning, a partner who speaks loudly on conference calls, and a neighbor's dog who won't stop barking can make your work day feel more like a circus than a serene office.
