Bad WFH habits

361 replies

The past few months I have been napping during my lunch break. Every day for about 45 minutes. Once when I first started napping I overslept so now I set an alarm Blush

Twice a week I get an almond croissant from the coffee shop for breakfast.

I’ve gone from washing my hair 4 times a week to every 10 days.

What bad habits have you picked up?

Barely moving and working as much as other people do instead of as much as I can do. Reading too much Mumsnet at lunchtime.

When info back to working from the office, I'm seriously considering asking my manager of they will consider installing sleep pods.

The 2 20 minute breaks I get, I spend sleeping.

I use my lunch break to pick up the kids from school and get them fed and waters before I get back to work at half 3. Bitter. No, not me 😁

Oh, and watching TV while I work and napping on breaks too

I’ve got lazy with hair washing, and actually hair brushing as well.
Plus developed a lunch time bath habit!

I'm getting up at the last possible minute before work.
Washing hair once a week
What's a bra?
Playing on my phone during boring meetings

Endless snacking.

And online shopping during very boring meetings.

Washing hair once a week if that, but has made my hair much better! NAPS!! Day time TV, more tea....

CeliaCanth · 08/10/2020 20:59

Tea and a large slice of cake at 10.30 am (or as close to that time as possible) every day without fail...!

I nap as well! I’m dreading going back into the office because DD doesn’t sleep well and I really need these lunchtime naps. I only went back from maternity leave two weeks before lockdown so I really didn’t have time to get back into the office routine etc.

Washing your hair less might do it some good. Certainly styling it less will!

I think napping and croissants sound like great habits! Grin

Not leaving the house for four days

Not washing my hair enough
