I've worked remotely for the last 6 years and, after being laid off from my digital tech job about 5 months ago, have FINALLY found work at a marketing firm...but it's in person. I accepted the offer and I'm grateful for the opportunity but feeling really truly anxious about going back to the office from 9-5 every single day. My remote life afforded me the luxury of balance and flexibility that I fear I wont have anymore...any words of wisdom or advice?
