Does working from home change you?
I wake up at 8.30, make a strong coffee and work in my casual clothes. I am a manager.
Spent the first 5 years of my career in an office and will never forget the grind of getting dressed and getting on the tube for 40 minutes twice a day. I'm a sweaty bastard so used to get to work with damp clothes from standing up on a packed tube, causing me social anxiety at the office.
Though I have much more time to myself and still smashing my career. I can't help but feel like I'm not really doing anything and have a lesser growth mindset than I used to.
When I was in an office 5 days a week I would literally go from the office after work to the gym / language classes / meet friends literally every day during the week.
Now at 5 or 6 I somehow still feel exhausted despite being at home all day and reluctant to work out or go out and do something aside from a walk. I still make myself train though.
I have little human contact during the day, and have definitely become less sociable in general life since the pandemic and home working.
What could I do to keep myself in a growth and self development? It almost feels a little too easy.
