      When summer arrives, working from home can either feel like a wonderful advantage or a complete hassle. The perks, such as no commute and wearing whatever you like without judgment from colleagues, can be particularly tempting when the weather warms up. However, it’s easy to feel frustrated when you’d prefer to be relaxing at the beach, or when you're uncomfortably warm at your desk.
