[quote=Anonymous]I willingly work from the office almost every day—though I telework an hour in the mornings/evenings. No idea if that will be an option anymore but those two things are really what makes working in person tenable for me. Takes our stupid 8.5 hour day and makes it more reasonable. I spend my 30 minute commute planning my day and responding to emails, and after bedtimes, spend 30 minutes wrapping things up (sometimes I leave later from the office and this is unnecessary). For work, I make 5 lunches on Sunday. I know, it’s depressing. The kale is pretty wilted by Friday. I leave a bottle of salad dressing in the fridge at work. I also don’t bother doing things like cutting fruit up or washing it at home. I do all that at the office. Both my husband and I work in person. The other thing we do is the bar is very low for dinners. We don’t eat anything that takes more than 15 minutes to make. this might look like a leftover soup (from the weekend) on Monday, pasta with meat sauce on tuesday, slow cooker pineapple chicken with broccoli and microwave rice on wednesday, another round of pasta on thursday, rotisserie chicken with hummus and pita and a freezer air fryer bag of veggies on friday. I go to the grocery store on fridays so that we don’t feel like we must do it on the weekend (hence the rotisserie chicken). [/quote]
