The survey also found that participants spend 9 hours and 45 minutes on the clock per day while working from home, with significantly more distractions that cause them to work later in the day than they did previously.

One-third of those surveyed said social media is still the biggest distraction that, on average, took about two hours out of a worker's day.

"People are getting a lot of distractions from places that you might not expect, with social media being the biggest distraction folks commented on even for those folks who had kids at home," Wettemann said.

Additionally, employees reported spending 3 percent of their time troubleshooting technology-related issues, such as reliable internet access — and the "top tool of choice" for work is Zoom.

Another work-from-home perk for employees was the elimination of a work commute, often meaning they could spend more time at their posts.

And according to Wettemann, their uneasiness about their careers was "rated far ahead of [being] worried about being sick or worried about a loved one getting ill."

"When we asked people what they were most concerned about — we didn't say about the work environment but just in general — [more] than a third of them said that they were worried about their job and job security," she said, according to Yahoo!.
