[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People did this for generations! You'll get used to the new norm probably faster than you think. There's a virtue to getting out of the house. [/quote]

I also see more flexibility after COVID. We go in office but we can come in late or leave early if needed and make up the work in the evening. Although I personally prefer to leave work at work.

Unfortunately that flex might be gone now but let’s hope we can keep it up because that is what makes going into the office more palatable.

We’ve been going in six days PP and I find that having my office stocked with healthy snacks is helpful. I find that in-office days go by very quickly so adding two more isn’t horrible but I will miss being home when it’s a beautiful day out and I can take sunny breaks outside-will have to figure out how to get some sunny times in while at the office. But on those in office days I do like chatting with people and being in person more-makes the time fly.

Going into the office makes me think more intentionally about my 5-9pm than before so I try to make the most of that time with getting dinner done quickly for the fam, walking the dog, squeezing in my workout if I didn’t get it in the AM. I am also rationalizing this change by planning to go in very early the days my DH is home and then doing my usual 9ish-5ish on the other three days. My goal is to wrap up very very early on Fridays if I can. I also will take some Fridays off and build that into my future schedules so I can get some time back into my life and have some days to look forward to. Whatever I can do to keep my own morale up I will. [/quote]
