do you mean dd ?

Well excuse the fuck out of me for not having enough free time to actually enjoy my life.

Psychological inflexibility here means getting stuck in rigid behavior patterns to the point that it messes with living a full and meaningful life.

Rigid behavioral patterns like having to work 40 hours a week, shop, feed yourself, clean, do laundry, go to the doctor, pay bills and so on, over and over and over again for the rest of your life?

You could do bodyweight stuff. Pushups, pullups, squats, core work, etc.

I don't notice much of a difference personally and I have several years of consistent workout logs to go off.

Same lol.

Could definitely be a factor. I've not been diagnosed but I wouldn't be surprised to learn I have an attention deficit issue.

I'm going to look it up. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sort of. I have to go on site to different locations we support sometimes and I will post up in a out of the way corner and do some work while I'm waiting on a local tech or something. Never had a issue concentrating then. It's kind of a pain to work off only one laptop screen though with what I'm usually doing.

I'd like to do something outdoors but I can't find a job like that which pays enough and doesn't require a totally different education. I'm not even able to afford the things I want on the salary I have now.

Your problem is a severe lack of discipline. If you need someone watching over your shoulder and putting pressure on you in order to get work done then you have a big discipline problem.

I'm in the office by myself most days. There's no one over my shoulder. It's just something about being in a different environment. It doesn't occur to me to go on the internet to start doom scrolling or researching stuff for personal projects. I do admit it's a discipline issue but nothing I've tried to overcome it has worked. I'm open to suggestions.

For me it’s about getting the job done. If I don’t get the job done then I’ve shown my employers that I am useless and I lose my job.

The problem is with my job there isn't a lot of "getting the job done" I'm the middle man on a lot of different things so there's a lot of just sending emails to different people to gather information or get something I can't do myself done. I'm pretty good about getting actionable things taken care of right away but all the setting up meetings and replying to emails stuff is tedious as hell and I find it really hard to focus on when I'm at home.

I guess I can’t relate to the concept of dragging ass all day. Aren’t you worried about losing your job?

Yes, That's why I go into the office to work.

I am wildly unproductive when I WFH. I literally cannot focus on work tasks when I have so many more interesting things available to me to do. I’ve tried everything to make myself focus but the best I can do is maybe 3/4 hours of the day interrupted by doom scrolling or messing around on my personal desktop. My coworkers all WFH as well and seem to have no issues getting their stuff done so I’d never argue that WFH is bad for everyone but for me personally it is. I need the structure of going in the office. Thankfully my job gives us the choice.
