How do those of you that struggle w/depression handle working at home? Going in to the office gives me a reason to get out of bed in the morning but I’m struggling today due to offices closed (snow)

Also helpful to get dressed - you don’t necessarily need to put on a suit but it’s helpful to get you in the mindset. I find that setting up at my kitchen table or some other non-comfy place helps me stay in work mode. It’s hard though - give yourself a break and do your best!

Hmm. I usually struggle to go to work in the morning because of my commute. Opposite for me. I’d say go work at a local Panera/restaurant that’s work friendly. Ofcourse that all depends on how bad the weather is where you are.

Get up and get dressed etc in the same normal routine I would if I had to go to the office. And wear shoes during the day. Idk why but it helps me focus

Try to make it the routine as similar to work as possible. Getting dressed, drinking coffee, sitting at a desk, check emails and plug in. Have to stay away from bed at all costs.

I want to lose 20 pounds (M 165). I put together a diet that has me at 3500 calorie deficit per week for roughly 1 pound per week loss. On top of this I am going to the gym twice per week for heavy lifting + 10 min cardio. Do you think I will see results with going to the gym twice a week? It’s hard for me to find time to go more often but I want to tone up while also doing my cut. I am going to try to also incorporate yoga twice a week into this. Thanks!

How do you all deal with the guilt of leaving a comany/ team? I have been working at Microsoft for 1 year now, and seriously considering moving. I find the code base to be very legacy and I mostly work on obscure bugs that I spend so much time on, mostly due to navigating this large code base and not having much docs to refer to. Hence I find the job slightly unsatisfying, and that I could learn more elsewhere. However, I love the wlb, the team and company culture. The guilt stops my applying.
