    That's a great idea, thanks.

    WFH isn't necessarily the easy option.
    It definitely has its challenges, but I think I would like most of them. For example, I think it is a good think to learn how to discipline myself. I don't need a boss to tell me when to work and when to stop working. It's more difficult, yes, but you can learn a lot about yourself and how you work best.

    If relatives and friends are a problem then blocking time in your calendar and having two separate numbers could be a solution.

    Also, I think that WFH doesn't need to mean "work from home", but could also mean "work from a co-working space" or similar places. Or work from a remote place with a co-working space, like here: Hubud [Hub-in-Ubud] Bali's first co-working space! (They even cook for the co-workers). Doesn't that look like an amazing place to work?

    Well, we'll see what the future will bring, I'm definitely not where I would like to be yet, but working on getting there.

    Thanks everyone for your help and your very interesting insights. Love it!
