Comment on Me in my home office at exactly 5:01pm everyday

One of the reason’s i think i prefer office work to WFH… WFH has you immediately surrounded by comfort and our monkey brains just utilise whatever they can see in their immediate surroundings, so while an office job has you get a bit of exercise on the commute home, working from home gives you no choice but to dive into bed.

That’s just a me problem though, isn’t it. Don’t want to remove WFH from people.

However, it is much easier to smoke weed while working when you do home office.

That was an issue for me as well when I started working from home, but I was able to slowly start getting myself to do things on my own, instead of needing to tack them on to preexisting commitments like going to work, which has actually helped me out a lot. The trick was for me to do the smallest possible thing, and ramp it up incredibly slowly. I started working out again by literally doing one sit-up a day. For weeks that’s all I did, but eventually I moved up to 5, then to more, and added more exercises until now, where I’ve got a whole weekly routine.

I did the same thing for other chores that needed doing, and it’s been long enough now that I can just decide to do something that I need to do in the moment, instead of always saying “I’ll do it after work,” which would always turn into “I’ll do it after work tomorrow” when work actually ended. It makes outings more fun, too, since they’re not always filled to the brim with all the things I was putting off doing.

you get a bit of exercise on the commute home

Really depends on where you live. If by commute, you mean walking and taking nice, comfortable public transportation, then sure you can probably count that as exercise. If your commute is sitting in a car in traffic for an hour each way, that’s terrible; and you’re better off stepping outside your home office after work to take a walk in your neighborhood. Not having to tire yourself out from commuting also means you have more energy to exercise after work, so it’s a matter of willpower to not immediately dive into bed.
