I remember your post from earlier this year about how you spread your work hours throughout the day. It reminded me of how I used to work when I went into an office, how there was chatting time, water cooler talk, walks to the coffee shop, etc. And yet, we were all still sufficiently productive. I realized that after working from home for so many years, I was attempting to “be productive” from clock-in to clock-out. This was accidental, or maybe instinctive. I had not external reminders or prompts to step away and take a break. This was impacting my stiff joints and aging eyes. I’m much better now about building in walks, eye breaks, and activities that refresh me for being productive.
