I took an hour out of my 9 to 5 work from home job to go to the gym. I usually go after work but the gym is super crowded at that time. I decided to wake up a bit early and workout before work. By the time I got back, I was an hour late for work. But it’s Friday and my manager was out of town so no one was really looking for me.
I used to feel guilty for spending long periods away from my desk during work hours. But overall, I’m a hard worker and end up getting my job done one way or another. I may start making this a regular Friday morning thing.
I don’t necessarily encourage others to do what I did. But if you feel like you are working hard at your WFH job, it’s ok to take time for yourself during the day. Go for a walk, grab a coffee, fix a nice lunch. The worst thing you can do for yourself is work all day, everyday at a job.
