janewilson90 That must suck, I'm sorry you hate it. I think all your tips are helpful, I love working from home but part of loving it has been creating those boundaries. The pandemic also made them harder (gym shut, less social life) and I felt like I had to rebuild them all over again.
-
janewilson90 Yeah I had one rule during full lockdown: go outside and make my 10k steps. The couple of occasions I broke it really reminded me why it was the one rule! Rituals and routines are so important, and it can be really hard to rebuild them. I'm glad you've found a way to cope.
