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.

    Yeah… let’s not go this route.

    Realistically you’re not aiming for ~45 hours of hyper focused work. Aim for two 1-3 hour focused sessions a day and schedule around this - lunch, walks, meetings etc.

    If you’ve still got bandwidth to burn - and your goal is to get out - look into overemployment or legit avenues for self employment.

      I miss meetings because it used up the day so fast. I rarely have more than 2 half hour meetings a week now.

      I at least watch interesting videos on YouTube pretty much all day so im learning something at least. Not anything useful but its interesting!
