It has been almost 2 years since the pandemic began and we all started working from home. I myself have been "working" at home since 2018 so not-going-out doesn't affect me that much unlike those who were always out but I still miss those times where I get to go out normally (before the pandemic) because I felt like I was so motivated to do stuff when I get to prepare and walk.
Since we all have been staying inside and just occasionally walk to exercise, it gets hard to be motivated to do anything. My routine is to wake up, feed the pets and myself, do my usual computer stuff, maybe cook at lunch, shower in the afternoon but still be in my pajamas, and then continue with the work stuff.
Lately, I've been seeing myself not having that much energy or motivation to work probably because I've been too comfortable at home and lack of sunlight too haha.
So, I thought what if I dress up as if I'm going out to work? Will that motivate me?
The other day, I did it and it gave me some energy and excitement. I wore make up and dressed my going-out dress and treated the house as if it was a hotel. XD
I saw myself being in a euphoric state. I even took videos of myself walking like a model in a runway just to hype myself up and it gave me some energy. Yes, the technique worked cos I guess psychologically it gave me the memory of going out to show off your best self.
It also gave me some going-to-work mindset which was nice. Since, you know, you aren't in your pajamas so unconsciously you're treating your home environment as a work one.
I feel like I'm gonna do this more often especially when I learn how to manage my time better.
Even though technically it is easier to work from home, in other ways it can also be hard. You'd have to have a proper mindset to be able to get that energy and also so you won't forget to take care of yourself.
I'm motivated to work at home because I know the work needs to be done :D
And I'm enjoying this. No pants required, I can build the home office the way I like. Most things are awesome from working from home, especially as colleagues won't bother me as much! This might be just a Finnish thing though, as I've heard many people MISS their colleagues.
Haha that's enough motivation! I guess I'm not that pressured since I don't work for anybody and that somehow messed my motivation.
I agree most things are awesome with this set up. Hmm, to me though I only miss my colleagues just a few times since we (artists) need to continually expose ourselves to an artistic environment to learn. But I don't miss them for bonding or fun that much so I get what you mean! :D
Wow!! Trippy!! :)
Haha this 'liquify' effect made it look trippy! :D
Exactly this!! But also the background take is part :)
Well well well, if it isn't the hidden one. Hahaha. It's been a while ay. Anyways what can I say? I think the pandemic generally made people accustomed to being home, it's more of a mental thing. Apart from my health conditions I don't feel motivated to even leave home unless for college commitments and all so, sometimes it's not us who needs that motivation. I guess time would actually bring that Motivation, hopefully covid-19 isn't here to stay. Looking dashing as always. You don't need that extra vitamin D Hahaha.
Hahah! Hey Jose! Yeah been a bit busy with doing my series atm. Hope you're well.
OMG I feel the same about leaving home too. Like, we have been here at our houses for too long that leaving house is like a big chore, cos we have this momentum of just staying haha.
Love your hair!
