Can we really say that? Graph does show (thankfully) a modest downward trend, and it stops in 2022. There was still a lot of top-down pressure to stay in pandemic mode in a lot of 2022.

rent is too expensive post-pandemic so these days, i just stay home and enjoy my rent payment

An additional 1.5 hours sounds small given the number of people working from home

Americans are getting older and having less kids. Older people are living longer and spend more time indoors. Working from home is a trend, but people are also retiring from working full-time. Millennials are the largest part of the workforce now…

i’d love to see the median, as otherwise could this be 20% of people working from home and some working hybrid, i.e. mostly driven by spending more work hours at home

loneliness? sadness? i think people used to be much more open, happy and fun pre 2020. and they also took themselves less seriously.

I wonder what the distribution of that looks like. Is that a broad trend, or did the majority return to their pre-covid baseline, and this is the result of a smaller group having deeply changed their behavior?

turns out the future of work was just... home

We need to see 2023 and 2024 People didn’t really feel the pandemic was “over over” until some point in 2022

people, let alone young people, should not be spending this much time at home. its one of the worst legacies of the pandemic

Interesting dynamics of how external events can shake up the equilibrium, and move it permanently to another place.

Even having an office 15 minutes away expands your ease in going somewhere else besides home. Inertia is the issue even more than the economy.

Who knew you didn't have to leave the house every day?

I wonder if it is bc of remote work. For the people and for the environment is net positive

Yep. Remote work was a blast Who doesn't want to spend time with their wife and kids?

Some structural changes happened: if you got an indoor bike or an expensive coffee machine you probably still maximizing the value of that purchase from the Covid years. Or at least that is what I do, YMMV.

staying home. doing nothing. underrated af.

People also staying home more because the cost of doing pretty much anything doubled.

I want to see data on 2023 and 2024.

This is likely skewed by people working from home. 2025 will probably be closer to 2019 than 2020 as more people come back to the office

Great. I love home

what was the first one

2025 is the year this reverts

No place like home

People in 2003

I learned to make better food than most restaurants. Home gym. WFH. Large balcony with a view. Outside of frequent vacations, what's worth going to outside my home?

probably correlates well with home values

That is a good thing, I hope it doesn't change anytime soon.

can't find antidepressant consumption for same period

although less productive, i liked seeing my kid grow up and be able to teach him my language.

A lot of people had kids during this time too, wonder if that contributed much to the change

It took decades for humans' habits to change the climate. It took only a few weeks for the virus to change humans' habits.

Data is only until 2022 and is clearly declining

This graph stops at 2022 which was still near the end of the COVID craze

This graph doesn’t show that, the trend is going down and stops in 22’

I hate it. We used to do so many things and now my kids are total house cats. They get angry when I want to drag them to a museum or almost anywhere. They're older now, of course, but I'm still trying to figure out how to get them back into enjoying society.

I think a lot has to do with more people working from home. Some love it, some hate it. I like it. Also wonder whether it is good for the environment (fewer commutes, less busy rush hours?)

Many factors contribute to it, and chief among them is "work." We need to accept that what we call "work" now has been redefined post covid, especially with the growing influence of the gig economy. Three trends steering change now are: globalization, generational change, and

I used to walk up and down Grafton Street to and from work every day. For all the convenience I gained I definitely lost something in the switch to remote work. You feel like you’re not really part of society in the same way.

sad but true, we need more time outside.

I do like home ngl

Product of remote work. I think remote work isn’t necessarily bad, but it’s very dependent on the job type. If it’s a somewhat mindless job that requires minimal deep thinking then it’s fine but for key members of the team, they should probably be in the office.

terrible. One unhealthy comfort zone that should be removed again

Lots of companies canceled office leases after Covid. They made a saving and are not looking back.

dang made everyone move further towards the introverted end of the extraversion-introversion spectrum

Social distancing is my superpower. Working from home has been amazing in all aspects of my work and personal life. I only wish we had an epidemic sooner and I'm looking forward to the next one to lock WFH in for good.
