The annual return to school is a stressful time for most kids. One thing that makes it easier? A trip to stock up on fresh supplies, outfits, and other fun stuff!
Another advantage of in-office work is natural boundaries between work and personal life. Embrace the transition moments to improve your mental health and protect your time.
The daily commute can be a source of dread, or a peaceful ritual. Make this time special with your favorite music, podcast, or, if possible, books/videos/apps on your phone!
Morale is a peculiar thing. Often, if you intentionally lean into the small joys and silliness of daily office life, the people around you will follow suit.
The thought of moving back to your old desk after years at home isn't necessarily a fun one.
But with a positive attitude, you can make the move easier on yourself and hopefully find some peace in it.
