The biggest change

One would have imagined working 100 percent of the time from the home would have been one of the biggest changes the lockdown would have brought. But for me it wasn't really anything new. I used to do that 2-3 days a week already earlier. So it was just more the same instead of something new.

Now, after a week from working from my new home office I have realized it was a lot bigger change. It was actually something new that requires a different routine. It's still fresh and I haven't completely used to it yet, but at least I already have some initial routines formed.

Unfortunately one of the things I was hoping to achieve with this separation was making clear distinction between work and free time. Instead I find myself spending even more time "at the office". 

Another thing that needs getting used to is getting at the office early in the morning. Even if I could start working right away in the old setup now it feels like I need some time to get into the "office" mode. So far I have started the days in remote mode working a hour or two casually from the couch while drinking my morning coffee and moving to the office only after that. I just need to remember to pick up my laptop when I leave from work so I don't have to go and get it first thing in the morning instead (the office is all the way downstairs).
