I can definitely understand. WFH is not for everyone.
Like you I'm not convinced about the efficiency and productivity of those who work from home. It requires a well organized house and exceptional equipment. Still, there is nothing that can compete with collaborating in proximity. I'm not saying that there are no exceptions but that for the majority the productivity when WFH is a myth, same with as open floor.
I only take the option when there is something out of the ordinary I need to do home during a working day. The smart employers I had understood the compromise. Get something out of the day instead of nothing. The not smart employers accept work in the train during commute. Currently it is a necessity. Instead of nothing just something.
How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

I always wondered what it was like full time at home, I feel like a contractor, it's very strange.
I have started to work on smaller more manageable tasks instead of focusing on that unicorn task. Better than nothing.
