I find it harder to just switch off at the end of the day, though I do try to stick to eight hours as best I can. I think it also helps that my job isn't particularly urgent... like no one is going to die if I don't get back to them right away. And it's a very small staff working in different time zones, so delays are common as one person is, you know, sleeping, haha. So it is probably easier for me to fully "log off" than most people. One very helpful thing has been shutting down my work computer at the end of the day as a transition back into my normal life--that does help to discourage me from getting back on for just a quick sec.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390654279475560002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-2608131547977650782020-04-27T09:01:58.682-04:002020-04-27T09:01:58.682-04:00I've been working from home too, and the good ...I've been working from home too, and the good thing about my job is that we literally have to clock in and out, so I don't struggle with signing off. But my husband has had the same issue as you at times. <br /><br />Oh yeah, the Disney vacation thing...it all seems so silly to complain about when people are literally dying. Honestly, this situation makes me realize that all these extravagant things people like to do are often so unnecessary, like big birthday bashes and the like. I'm really appreciating the little things right now.<br /><br />I hope that extra hill work does your body good!Janelle @ Run With No Regretshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06580318957595973119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-61686516700762892342020-04-26T15:31:56.378-04:002020-04-26T15:31:56.378-04:00I've been working full-time at home on my blog...I've been working full-time at home on my blog for a few years now so much has changed in that department for me.

Like you, I'm just checking my email constantly and then that leads to responding to emails which leads to more work - well you get it, lol!<br /><br />I 100% agree with your point about people constantly mentioning about their races being canceled, etc. I understand that it sucks so when I saw posts about it during the first week or two of the pandemic that was fine, but the fact that people are still posting and complaining really irritates me. Maybe I'm a little extra sensitive because I live so close to NYC, but people really need to stop and put things in perspective.KookyRunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687318401455266836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-867540443895069802020-04-24T10:05:04.826-04:002020-04-24T10:05:04.826-04:00Point well taken, and I wish more people would get...Point well taken, and I wish more people would get it. We were supposed to be at Universal Studios in a week, and yes I'm sad that our vacation with the kadults got canceled.

I am, too. That said, I think races can be run in the future but people who get really sick will never be the same and so many have perished. Running here has been tough because the park and lakefront are closed. I have to play frogger with other people on the streets and side walks, but I've found some OK routes and times to go.
