Don’t know how big the cultural change etc is, but advice is, make the effort to make your personal space and area more comfortable. Sometimes the sterility of it adds more to it. Try to find a social group using any excuse you got, it sucks, takes energy but knowing people makes you feel less lost. No matter what happens you’ll have people in similar situations. Ask favors, it works wonders, people can/will help, no one asks. Last, but not the least, forgive yourself on doing things that remind you of home or what have you. Best analogy I can come up with for me is “staying in ordering comfort food and watching random shit” , I felt that I wasn’t doing enough or integrating or exploring, but once you move past it, it’s easier.

Joining a big firm next week as fully remote lateral and flying out to home office for orientation. The schedule has me in office until 4:15. I’ve already been told I won’t have any actual work. Depending on how many people are there and how it feels, I was planning to stay an hour extra but should I hang around the office until later? First time visiting this city so it’d be great to take in some sights too (although that’s not a priority of course).

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)

Anyone else heard of this/tried it?
