I’ve been working from home since the pandemic and by the end of the day, I’d feel zonked out. I decided to sign up for wework-type place nearby and tried it for the first time last week. At the end of the day I felt a lot fresher. Not sure how to describe it but the mini-interruptions of people walking by, background chat made the day go easier.

At home I have my own work set up, a desk in a dedicated study but there’s something stifling about being at home.

AIBU?

It sounds daft but I listen to office / cafe background noise on Spotify and that does help. I also struggle without people around me but even when I go in the office there's hardly anyone there so never feels worth it. I think being disciplined and having a walk at lunch does help, I just never seem to do it!

Same. Every day feels like Groundhog Day.

Same. Every day feels like Groundhog Day.

I've bought a new house across the street from a park (not moved in yet), near an activity centre (sports classes) and cafes in the hope it means I won't just stay in all day so often.

Not always, but I like working from an office. I do however like to do that, when I feel up for it. I like the option, but I also like to cook lunch and do laundry when I take a break so I can spend more time with my family. And I hate commuting 😂
