Anyone else feeling like every single day of work in consulting with the current home office set up is a real pain & struggling to motivate to even care about the job? Any advice to regain motivation? Balancing long hours and constant time pressure without sitting together with the team and the client seems so much harder

You're the 4th post with this theme in 2 days. I am in the same boat. The grind isn't sustainable at home. It's one thing when you can logically and physically compartmentalize work with travel. It's a different thing when I'm physically in my home but unable to enjoy it.

We are moderated sometimes and I'm more worried about her getting in trouble than me for not abiding.
