I've heard several people say that they are having more vivid and stranger dreams since quarantine started. I wonder how broadly this is occurring.
I am having more vivid dreams, also finding it easier to remember them next morning
Anecdotally, I can tell you that I am definitely getting up later. Between not having to be get my daughter to school by 7:20 and then a 45 minute drive to the office. I can roll out of bed about 7:45 and still be at my desk by 8ish. Honestly, work from home has been such a quantum leap in my quality of life. The fact that I am not spending 1.5 hours in the car every day has given me a surprising amount of time and e…
Wow. My experience is so different. I wake up somewhat earlier than normal, though I'm groggy and take hours to fully wake up once out of bed. My productivity is completely shot. My wife, daughter and I spend the day grouchy and stressed out. I worry about my job and my sanity. After work, I find no joy in my hobbies -- I'm worried about how little I accomplished, and start dreading the next day. I don't miss commuti…
I hope things turn around soon for you!
Since the pandemic I started getting up around 6 am without an alarm clock. I never did that before. A big part of that is I go to bed earlier, as there is nothing worth staying up late for. I've found I can focus so much more if I get up early and have been super productive these past few months. I am going to keep doing this when the pandemic is over.
> Since the pandemic I started getting up around 6 am without an alarm clock. I never did that before. A big part of that is I go to bed earlier, as there is nothing worth staying up late for. I was the same way until daylight hours started getting longer and I found a good page turner. Before that I was out by 9:30 or 10 and up with the sunrise.

The walking part is healthy through.
Absolutely! My smartwatch was quite happy today. I just wasn’t used to it anymore I guess :D

I have the same experience. I absolutely loved working from home every day.
Here in Denmark, where things have opened up again after COVID-19, there was lots and lots of talk about how working remotely had changed society, and things would probably never return to the old "normal".
Fast forward about 4 weeks, and everybody is driving to work like they used to like COVID-19 never happened. So much for change :)

Good news is that there's so much more information about this nowadays. Start with a google of "deep work" and go from there. It'll be time well invested. You may not get to prefer WFH, but you can definitely improve things.

Working from home productively is objectively hard. It took me close to a decade to figure it out. I know people that gave up a freelancing career because it was too frustrating.

It's a killer combination and it's not merely "working from home" (which of course has its own challenges). A person without kids or single may find it ideal. I don't.

Tomorrow is one of the black weekends in France (worst road conditions in the year because of people commuting to or from vacation) and this is exactly like every year.
