"Not only do those who log on from their couch save hours (and cash) by skipping the commute, they're able to channel that time into things that actually matter. Many use that reclaimed time to invest in their health, whether it's a gym session, a long walk, or simply unwinding with a creative hobby. Others put it toward family, from shared meals to bedtime stories, while some welcome the chance to stay on top of household responsibilities instead of cramming them into the weekend."
"It's been over 5 years since the world went into lockdown, forcing everyone to work from home. While the dangers of the pandemic have since subsided, some working from home remains-although it's since evolved with many companies calling people back to the office, others embracing flexibility, and many workers caught in the middle of the tug-of-war. Now, a four-year study by the University of South Australia has confirmed what employees long suspected: they thrive when allowed to work from home."
A four-year University of South Australia study finds remote work boosts happiness, health, and productivity while improving work-life balance. Remote workers save commuting time and money, reallocating those hours to exercise, walks, creative hobbies, family activities, and household tasks. Remote work correlates with healthier eating habits, including more fruit, vegetables, and homemade meals. Remote employees gain an extra 30 minutes of sleep per night. Office environments contribute stress and Sunday-night anxiety for many leaders, driven by long hours and pressure to maintain appearances. Remote work carries challenges but delivers measurable benefits across wellbeing, diet, rest, and daily routines.
