I’m struggling with this too, so I’ve been sitting in different parts of the house (lol), and now I’m trying to introduce walks and coffee breaks to break up my day and give me some variety.

Yeah I think it helps productivity because I get more done when I’m actually at my screen. And then when I lose focus I can be “productive” with that time in other ways. Honestly I feel like even little things help to try and frame WFH as a treat rather than a miserable unending house arrest (lol). We have to work during weird hours in the ordinary course of business anyway, so it’s nice psychologically to mix it up by sometimes doing personal things during business hours.

C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.
