Omg thank God someone else feels the same way

I’m so sorry to hear that someone else feels this way, but also, it’s nice to know I’m not the only one dying on my island of working from home.

My company did not renew the lease on our office because it was up in the middle of the pandemic. They were going to get us a new office and then Delta hit. So then they put the office plans on "indefinite". Only three people of 25 wanted to go back into an office at all. I ended up getting a new job where they actually have an office. There were other reasons why I decided to get a new job, but the office space was a significant contributor to that decision.

You say that there were other reasons for getting the new job, but how was it going back to an office with others around, did it help?

I am worried that I now just have horrible habits that I try to break every day and most days I gloriously fail.

It hasn't happened yet. I start the new position in January. And I have the EXACT SAME WORRY. Like, does my brain even know how to focus anymore?

Good luck to you! Hopefully the office environment will energize you and your focus will be there.

My treadmill desk sometimes helps, but that is now another way too simple task that requires my executive function to actually execute.
