WFH people... How do you break up your day? Do you take your dog on a walk? Peloton break? Go grocery shopping?

I take the dogs on 2-3 walks a day, about 15 minutes each. I do laundry and other chores when I have a few spare minutes, and I'll try to fit in a cardio session on my elliptical during lunch. I have a good amount of down time, and I try to use it to be as productive as possible around the house.

I take breaks every couple of hours. Go outside and enjoy the fresh air. Do some light cleaning or catching up on chores, or get a quick exercise in. I usually take a longer lunch and either take a nap or do some reading just to get away from the screen and give my eyes a rest. How do you break it up?

I love to do a midday workout. Gym is less busy and it’s my reward to get through the AM portion of the day. Also helps me come back for the second half of the day clear headed and sometimes I find some work inspiration.

I take a break, I go on a walk or just sit outside. When I am deep in my work, I play Spotify. I don't have premium. So every time the ads come on, I know that is my break time.

It goes the same as if I was in office except for a few things.

1. Lunch break may be a nap or a walk
2. Early morning commute and evening commute is walking to/from my computer.

Walking outside, a quick errand or gym session.

I'll usually get stuff done that i normally couldn't if i go on-site. I might do 2 hours of actual work when I'm at home. As long as I have my phone with Outlook and Teams showing me online I'm good!

I have 4 kids, so I have to take several breaks throughout the day. Dog walks at least once a day (preferably in the morning before I get bogged down in emails)

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?
