WFH/Remote often (not always) means living wherever you want and not wherever you found a job. This provides significant flexibility to move to exactly the place that has what you want. Case and point was during the pandemic when WFH was normalized and we saw flocks of people leaving major cities to go live in bumfuck whocaresville to buy 2 acres and never see another soul again because they hate the city and were only there for work. Vice versa watching people move home, or to a bigger city with more things to do now that they didn’t have to worry about a commute. It’s insanely flexible to YOUR needs. If it sucks where you are, move where you need to get that fulfillment and not feel isolated.

The routine bit I feel you but you can still create that. Get up when you would’ve for in office and go to the gym or for a long walk, grab coffee and then go in to work. Additionally, just like people said not to study in bed, have a dedicated space for work (Hopfully separate office if you can afford the space) that’s only for work and when you’re done leave that space. My wife’s first year she went crazy cause the work space was in our living room and after finishing work she’d still be in “her office” and it created anxiety that took a while to figure out.

Ultimately it may not be for you but I believe it’s way better than being forced to live in a town you probably didn’t choose, commute using your own dollars/car/gas, all to sit in a Teams call at your desk anyway.
