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.
Again, all those home comforts within arms reach
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.
I thought this is one of these “show your drawing skills, by filling the rest”
Hi, too, have started taking baths more often since I started working from home. Many of my back problems has started to go away…

This is me drowning in cum numbers at my accounting job in Nebraska back in 1937. My Norwegian boss used to call me tadpole, in not sure why but I think it had to do with the fact that I’m French and was new to the job so tadpole was a play on the whole “French frog” thing. Anyway I quit my job because he kept wanting me to go out and put signs up that said “fisted old horse for sale” because in his native language of Guarani the word “fisted” means happy. So he thought he was putting up signs for a happy old horse for sale but everyone who called about the sign was a real weirdo. I told him his mistake and he hit me with the belt from a belt sander and told me he was my dad. I was pretty confused at first because I’ve known my dad my entire life and he would never hit me with a belt of any kind, a bike chain sure but not a belt, belts are for pants and sanders. And not the Bernie or Colonel kind either, more like the old obsolete tool used to make surfaces smooth back before jagged surfaces became the hip new thing. So I was drowning in cum numbers and couldn’t finish all my work in time to save the horse, it was sold to an old woman named Gillie and she turned it into a fibreglass statue for her sister in law’s ex husband who had too many UTIs to ride a real live horse. I wonder what he’s up to these days.
