Reading List: July 9 - July 15

<p>A little over two years ago, the world came to a screeching halt because of COVID-19. Myself, like many others started working from home to help curb the spread of the virus. While some have started to go back to the office on at least a hybrid basis, I am now 100% remote and loving it.</p>
<p><PostImage

/></p>
<p>For the first 9 months, I was working at my old job and we just closed the office to keep everyone safe, but then in December 2020 I changed jobs to a position where I am fully remote with no expectation to go into the office. This is where I&#39;m at now and I don&#39;t think I&#39;d ever want to go back into the office again.</p>
<p>At home, I feel more comfortable and generally more productive. It&#39;s a lot easier for me to get into a flow when I&#39;m working on a task. I feel like there are less distractions and I can just put my head down and code. I have to be cognizant of not letting my Microsoft Teams notifications distract me too much, but other than that, I can still get my work done in a timely manner.</p>
<p>I don&#39;t need to get into all the benefits as I&#39;m sure many already know what they are. Lack of a commute as well as wear and tear on my car, ability to intermittently take care of small tasks like laundry, easier to exercise over lunch, the list goes on. I enjoy them all while still being productive. I wish more companies and managers could respect that.</p>
<p>I would find it hard for myself to return to an office. If I have my way, I&#39;ll only work remotely from here on out.</p>
