Ask HN: Have you noticed any side-effects from 100% work-from-home?

As a hobby, I'm writing some software that I plan to use myself. I'm building software to incentivize positive habit formation, routine maintenance, and daily mindfulness. I settled on the idea after reflecting on how my life has changed since I started a fully remote, work-from-home routine without a live-in partner. I've always been self-motivated and independent. WFH helped me lean heavily into that aspect of myself - perhaps a little too heavily. Overall, while I feel WFH to be a strong net positive that I am unwilling to abandon, I find myself wanting to consciously push back against the days blurring together due to poor work/life boundaries and I find myself wanting more tangible outlets for getting my thoughts "out there" due to lack of unplanned chitchat. Does the notion of "I starkly prefer work-from-home over work-from-office, but miss the 'forced' social structure/support provided by traditional work-from-office environments" ring true to you? Are your days broadly better as long as you keep on your daily routine, but, if your routine slips, you find there's less humane society to integrate with in an effort to rebound? And, if you'll forgive me for being a bit ironic, have you explored any software solutions for mitigating these concerns? Irrespective of your experience - positive or negative - please share. I don't want to mislead myself into believing an anecdotal, personal issue is representative of a societal trend. Thanks!
