When I work from home, I usually work from 7 to 18 and after that I read some books or meet some friends or go to some cultural place (museum, show, concert...). During breaks, I study japanese, get ready, read a chapter of a book, go for a walk or running if I need it, I eat my lunch of course, do my chores... Home office is so great to be more productive and make free time better. Chores feel like a fun break and I have none of them to do on week-ends.
When I work at the office, I try to take as much time as possible to connect with colleagues. My job is mostly lonely so I do not go that often to office. I try to go twice a week, it keeps me motivated and it's nice to meet colleagues. And I have way less time to do actual work there.
On week-end, I go for walks in the city or take the regional train to go to the forest. I meet some friends. Sometimes I play video games, sometimes I code on personnal projects. I plan my next week after taking a look at my yearly and long-term objectives
I don't work (disability), so i used to mostly just go on reddit all day, but since they announced the API was going to cost money, i ditched it. Now I just go on mastodon and lemmy all day.
- Wake up
- Fall out of bed
- Find my way downstairs
- Drink some coffee
- Look up and notice that I'm late
- Find my coat and hat
- Make the light rail in seconds flat
- Find my way upstairs and have a smoke
- Somebody speaks and I go into a dream
- Start counting holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
+rep but Yorkshire > Lancashire (until I move there 🤣)
I don't
Work, commute, clean, prep for next day, walk the dog, maybe read a manga or browse the web. Repeat and wait for the end.
I work from home as a helpdesk, so I spend a big part of my day on my computer. Apart from working I usually have some free time between cases and during break so I mostly scroll through Mastodon or Hacker News in Emacs. After work if I'm not too exhausted I would play music or trying to write some blog entries for my website. Other than that I would just slack through the night watching clips on YouTube (through either Invidious or Piped.video) or just going out and have some food or chat with my friends.
On weekends I usually have more time to do stuff so I would mostly be chilling outside for most of the day, and then come back home and slack my nights like I would do on my weekdays.
