I am lucky to have a hybrid role. I think a balance does benefit me. My office days involves commuting with busy public transport and quite a lot of walking, with much earlier starts. Currently my core office day is a Monday. Sometimes I’ll head in on other days in the week but only if I need to. The rest of the week I am either travelling to meetings elsewhere or WFH, usually have at least two entirely WFH days a week.
Increasingly, I return home from the office and I am beyond drained. Like, can’t string a sentence together tired. It feels as if I’ve just done a really difficult exam - I don’t know if that makes sense? I think it’s the socialising constantly and keeping a face on that tires me weird as it might be.
I notice that this doesn’t set me up well, as I am then tired on Tuesday and snappy/irritable by Wednesday. I usually then have a WFH day in the middle of the week so I’m fine again by Friday.
Is anyone else like this? No idea what’s causing it. I take all my vitamins and do generally get enough sleep.
