    I was like, you have no idea how much you would never do exactly that ever.

This. There are definitely things I do differently (like running errands during the week) but the majority of the time I'm sitting at my computer, without makeup, without real clothes, without people around me, working.

Another huge factor that people don't realize: when you don't have people around, you tend to talk to yourself more and sorta have a hard time transitioning back to real life after a stretch of work. For example, my roommate would come home and it would take me 30 or 45 minutes and a beer to be able to hold a real conversation. I can get in the zone more easily than I ever could at the office, but it was harder to get into that zone while working from home, and harder to get out of.

It's just significantly different and it's nothing like anyone expects.
