Two work from home personality types
Researchers identified two work personality types based on a preference for the ideal boundaries between home and work: the segmenter and the integrator.
- Segmenters want to make a clear distinction between their work life and their personal life. They have separate calendars or sets of keys for each place or activity.
- Integrators don't mind doing a bit of work, then doing something around the house, then back to work. They may find it harder to resist responding to an email late at night.
You may be an extreme segmenter, or an extreme integrator or fall somewhere in between.

Work-Life Balance When Working From Home
- Though employees are happy to see the demise of daily commutes and parking hassles, they are finding out that there is no work-life balance at home.
- Most workers live in apartments that aren’t suitable for 8 to 10 hours of work every day, as it was never designed to be a full-fledged office.
- Many employees would want to get back to offices as soon as possible due to social and mental issues, like the feeling of loneliness at home.
