Moving from your home to the office was previously a matter of course in order to be able to perform your duties. Today's digitalisation has made man more or less independent of time and space, which has been a salvation in the crisis situation that the world was hit by with the Corona pandemic. This has meant that social places such as offices have had to close down and instead move in under the same roof where privacy takes place. This has led to the individual himself having to limit his working hours and his private life, which further resulted in the purpose of the study, to investigate how the change between work and private life was handled during the distance work. The study also examines the question of whether the interviewees border work has any significance for well-being? The study uses a qualitative method to get deeper descriptions of ten semi-structured interviews with people who have office jobs and had to switch to teleworking. The majority of the people started a border work by establishing a limited workplace in the home, this was perceived as something positive. It was also positive that the distance work meant that the informants experienced increased flexibility in general. The negative aspect of teleworking has been the social isolation and lack of colleagues. As a result, a golden mean has been formed during the process and a desirable future form of work has emerged; To have a flexible form of work that includes variation of telework and office work in a balance where the interpersonal interactions play an important role. The study cannot conclude that there is a difference between women and men's boundaries and well-being under these working conditions.
