Ask HN: WFH because of the pandemic? What is the most challenging task for you?

If you just started to work from home because of the current situation, what are the most challenging tasks for you in your day to day life? What is something that was really easy previously and became painful as you started to work remotely?

My main point was telling my family I am not available although I am physically present.

Next was not to do housework in between. It always takes longer than I anticipate.

Are you still following your normal daily schedule (eg. wake up the same time, dress up for work, pretend like go to work, etc) or you've set up a new one for this situation?

Motivation.My wife and one of our friends says the same thing. It is very difficult to stay focused and actually do work. It's difficult to care.

Do you think that's because you are home (which is not the place for work usually) or because you have fewer things to do? Or instead of work, you are focusing on what's happening in the world right now?
