The only conditions I can see causing WFH burnout are:

* small children without other childcare (daycare)

* never experienced a long drive to the office before working from home

* social people who have never had children

Why WFH is great:

* I save 10+ hours per week by not driving. I am also saving tons on money from: gas, lunches, road tolls.

* Not spending a business day on the road each week dodging maniacs means I am less tired and distracted at work time.

* I can spend more time with my kids.

* My house is quiet during the day. I can focus on doing work. If there is no work assigned then work on a personal project or complete maintenance on the house.



Well I don't have kids, used to commute 3 hours per day, and still burning out. The lockdown was amazing at first, but I really am starting to feel like I'm only thinking about work 24/7, that I'm not being productive, that I can't do anything besides work, etc.
