I will let go of all my normal home maintenance tasks, such as cleaning, laundry, taking out the trash, changing bed sheets, etc., until I have a deadline for work approaching. All of a sudden, I have all the energy in the world to focus on said tasks while I avoid the looming deadline that I must absolutely accomplish if I don’t want to get fired. Why can’t I just work on things without the pressure? 😩
This is why WFH is great for me. I use work tasks to avoid housework and housework to avoid actual work and this tension somehow makes everything work
