In the past, I’ve done hybrid work, I’d finish all the easy stuff at home and keep the hard stuff for the office, and I’d go in for a couple of days to finish it all.

I got a really good offer from a different company, and I’ve taken it, but unfortunately, this company only does remote work and does not provide you with any equipment. Problem is that I have a powerful desktop but no laptop, which means my options are either to buy my own laptop and work somewhere else when I need to get work done or make a partition/new user on my desktop that’s strictly for work, but I am scared that its going to affect my productivity.

Any input or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

I second what others say about having a dedicated device for work, as well as have a separate physical space for it, even if it’s just another desk facing a different way in the room. I find it helps me to not use my main fun/hobbies area when I need to work. A trip to a local coffee place is a nice change once in a while, though.
