I normally love working remotely, but only on something I find compelling and only if the rest of my lifestyle is viable. Prior to COVID I was working on a PDF sdk product in-office, which was sometimes rewarding, but mostly quite banal. After work I'd continue working remotely on another thing, then hit the gym, then go to the skatepark. When the office shutdown, so did everything else. When I'd normally work out of a cafe, I'd be sitting at my desk at home. When I'd normally go get exercise, I'd at best be able use some bands at home. Generally speaking my day consisted of waking up and spending 8 hours doing the meanial work of piecing together a next.js app, and then... nothing else except for media consumption and watching the rain. I seemingly burnt out, could persuade myself to type my render functions, and got fired from the highest paying gig I've had so far. Now I've spent 3 months basically doing nothing but skating, hiking, hitting the gym, and otherwise enjoying myself. It's hard to convince myself to even look at my computer for work purposes. I wonder what the rest of the year will look like.
