What remote work dreams didn't come true for you?

I know some folks have worked remotely for years, but a vast number of us are coming up on 2 years of working remotely instead of being in the office 5 days a week. Life is different now, but not as I expected. And I also don’t feel like I’m as good at it as I expected.

What remote work dreams didn’t come true for you (or alternatively, how did you make your remote work dreams come true)?
