As someone who works remotely 100%, I like seeing these surveys and reports that show how many others are doing the same and how it fits their lifestyle.

I have a very nice home office above our garage with a view of our beautiful neighborhood. This place looks like it's straight out of a picture book throughout the seasons. I occasionally take my laptop on the road to a park or Lake Michigan to enjoy different scenery, as well. I've even used an iPad for an hour or two just as a test case. The iPad is completely functional for connecting to other systems and getting my work done, but I still prefer a laptop for the kind of work I do.

Each of the struggles listed in the survey aren't something I encounter. The closest one would be communication, but the folks I work with generally use GoToMeeting or Skype for Business even when we are in the same building, so there's very little difference. https://open.buffer.com/state-remote-work-2018/
