Inserting Yourself In Life
As someone who has worked from home for the past two decades, I’ve realized that, over time, I’ve become lazier about leaving the house and inserting myself. This laziness has come in many varieties and has been subtle enough so that I haven’t really noticed it much.
I read a post recently, though, that said that the majority of our waking hours should be spent outside of our home, and something clicked for me. The more that we get ourselves out there and move about in the world, the more opportunities and interactions we’ll have. Upon reflection, I’ve decided that this statement is certainly true.
Although I have been extremely productive and achieved a lot sitting behind the busy desk in the corner of my home, I have probably missed out on a lot too. I’ve not had the little everyday interactions that most people in an office setting do. Additionally, I haven’t run into people randomly on the path of my daily commute.
All of this time at home has also made me a bit less likely to want to go out for fun, although I generally love new experiences. Over time, I’ve become comfortable to just kick my feet up and relax or try to get more things checked off of my to-do list during my downtime.
I’ve decided that it’s time to turn these habits around. Even though I work from home, I can still insert myself more in life. As such…
