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.

    Fellow ADHD remote dev here. I started using my own computer in the middle of the main living are of my home, that was a disaster. Ended up getting my own laptop (later replaced by company laptop), setting up a corner in my unfinished basement as a work area and haven’t looked back.
