Between two houses: The life of a remote worker without a fixed location

Working remotely sounds convenient: No rigid schedules, no morning commute. But the trouble comes when every place becomes a work place... and every time becomes a work time. Home becomes an office, work silently extends into evenings and vacations, and you feel like you're "always on call." In the absence of clear boundaries, small tasks increase and interfere with your day-to-day life. With no clear boundaries, small tasks increase and interfere with your daily life, and you lose the comfort of your own home. The point here is not that remote work is bad, but that freedom needs rules: A set time to get things done, a protected time to rest, and a daily routine that prevents work from swallowing up the whole day.
