I’m basically alone on a super boring project (PMO and audit evidences collection/review/documentation). I’m single, WFH, in a new city and I don’t have any colleagues that work with me on this engagement. Im.. alone
It gets so lonely and it’s hard to stay motivated. I can’t be pulled out before November.
Any tips to stay motivated and sane??

No I can’t:( I’m afraid I wouldn’t be a good owner and I live overseas so I tend to travel a lot back home

Use it as an opportunity to get in the best shape of your life, won't be single long ;). In all seriousness do that, and also try to get out and meet new folks - I sympathize with your struggle it's definitely tough out there these days
