First ill preface that I know i am REALLY spoiled to even have a wfh job. Im honestly amazed something like this exists.
Which leads me to my question. Im good at my job, its a great company, I get nothing but good feedback. But honestly, its easy. Really if anyone wanted to learn, they could do it. I feel guilty pretty much everyday at how easy it is. But the fact that its easy also makes it really difficult to put in 45 hours of real work. I try to use some of the time for educational videos or something related to work but honestly with my adhd mind, 9 hours is a lot unless im SUPER busy.
All my previous work has been jobs running around all day, fixing problems, managing people, which I dont want to go back to necessarily but sometimes I miss it. I work very well in chaos.
I have tried meds to zoink me out and they do work, but I prefer not to be dependent.
I just accepted feeling lazy. I’m sitting here waiting for more work to come in an hour into my day right now, just screwing around on piefed. In two hours I’ll have a bit more to do, and then I’ll probably play my drums and mess around on my steam deck some. My boss outright recommended books for downtime, so I don’t even feel bad.
If you’re getting done everything they expect you to and doing it well, there’s no reason to spend all day still not working but sitting anxiously available in your desk chair imo. That’s a good way to drive yourself crazy.
Thats pretty much exactly what I do ha. I always feel everyone ele is working way harder than me and really busy but the reality is I bet a lot of them are just watching football and not caring at all!
