With you dude. Been WFH since August. My experience is if I stick to a regiment of getting up early - no different than if I had to go to the client - work out immediately and then leave my my apt to work at an office, library, or coffee shop, I do much better with eating, being productive, and working out. If I misstep even a little, boom: Couch, sweats, Netflix, Pizza delivered.

Seriously spend a day in real clothes (tight work clothes). Feel that uncomfortableness. When I studied for four months straight and wore sweats, or wore scrubs, or worked from home and wore sweats I was fucked. As soon as I wore jeans and real clothes I realized wtf I was doing to myself. Also, chew gum and lots of water or eat 0 calorie snacks like pickles or ice and shit.

I'm the opposite. I gain weight when traveling because I pack as light as possible which means no workout gear. Plus I snack at the client office all day and eat out vs cook healthy meals.

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?

Hi, weird question for this forum, so I apologize. I’m trying to be creative here and use the tv stand that I have. The issue is that it has an open back so you can see all my tv wires. I can’t hide the wires because my building won’t let me open the wall. My idea was to slip a tile sheet that is wall behind the tv stand as a back, but I need the tile cut to the specific heigh and width of the tv stand. Does anyone know where I can take this tile sheet to get cut to the specific measurements?
