What's the hardest part of working remotely for you?

by
I know that a lot of people love working remotely, but I ask those who are struggling: why is that? What are things that are hard (time management, motivation, bad internet etc)?

I feel distracted, less-focused and low on motivation while I work remotely. Face-to-face interaction, instant communication and socializing keeps me working all day in office.
When my dogs are being too needy in the middle of a meeting. Lol
the hardest point when you are working in your home and your siblings make a lot of noises.
I love almost everything about working from home, but I really miss face to face interactions! Even just 2-3 days per week would be enough to revitalize my energy.
Our retrospective meetings have become a lot worse. Team is not engaged, not getting a lot of value out of them.
Hatdest parts are having slow internet, my mother's crap phone that I am using for online profit (donate $1 to help me buy: bit.ly/goGive) and tight budget this pandemic.
I've definitely struggled to stay motivated when working from home. Daily scrums through zoom every morning (with everyone's cameras on) have definitely helped me stay more on track. It also helps to occasionally leave the house to take a quick walk, just to lighten up your mood a bit!
I end up working longer. There's no delineation to tell me when work ends like leaving the office.
Time management
Every morning I used to ride my bike to work. I had an awesome route through a forest near a small lake and a river.
