About 40% said that they have improved quality of life since they began working remotely. Some people said that a good thing is to reduce a burden on commuting, and other people said that a bad thing is a lack of physical exercise.
The survey also shows that remote works allow workers to increase shopping opportunities online or in their neighborhoods and to reduce every activity opportunity, such as shopping, dining, hobby or exercise, near the office.
