Some see working from home as a blessing—a fantastic chance to concentrate and be extremely productive—while still finding time for pajama workouts and puppy walks. For some, however, the change isn’t quite as smooth. Some discover that all they’ve accomplished in their eight hours is respond to two emails, daydream about getting a massage, or find their “cheese hour.”

It’s true that some people are just more suited to the new world of remote work than others due to their dispositions and personality qualities. But it’s not quite that simple. It’s not a given that you’ll be good or awful at working remotely; some people may just need to work harder than others.
