Read Why everyone feels like they’re faking it (New Yorker) This is an outstanding examination of imposter syndrome, the ubiquitous term (disproportionately experienced by women) that describes internalized feelings of inferiority and a fear of being exposed as a fraud. The author covers the history of the terms and its subsequent misinterpretation and pathologization. Recent
As someone who currently WFH 100% of the time, I am starting to miss the separation of work and home. I rarely leave myself enough time to wrap up at the end of the day and I don't shut down my computer... I think it is time to start.
I'm considering a new job that will likely require 1-2 days/week in the office and this discussion is making me view this as a potential positive rather than the negative I initially thought it would be - thanks!
I split my time between two cities and while the flying commute sucks, I have the perfect daily commute in work city (25 minutes along a river/through a park/past a bakery). And when I’m wfh, I cycle kiddo to school, 3 miles round trip but I often add a few miles in on the way home. I feel like I’ve woken up and ticked exercise off the list for the day. And then I get another 3 miles en route home.
I am a huge commute-lover (mine is 25 minutes one way), especially after I went back to the office in summer 2021. I loved working from home but it wasn't good for me in a lot of ways, and that demarcation line was not only nonexistent when it was time to stop working, it basically just didn't exist, and I'd work again after my kids' bedtime, etc. My ideal work situation is a flex schedule, where I could WFH 1-2 days a week, but I'm learning to re-appreciate things about the office, commute included.
I can attest, 4 kids is a lot more time spent in sickness
