Did this when I was doing graphic design remotely (I'm now in the arts scene doing studio-based work so... this doesn't pan out anymore). I would give my managers a bunch of deadlines that were realistic for my workload, but I knew I could get away with some buffer time, then I would usually spend a day or two finishing up everything to completion and sending them in during my stipulated deadlines one by one. This allowed for me to catch extra sleep and also do other design work (which was technically work but for myself). The wonders of remote working!

Clocking in but working on your own shit like you’re being paid to do it.

If you can get away with not working while working from home, you’re doing great imo
Actual suggestions I’ve seen: create a schedule (at least a start and end time), get dressed as if you were going to work.
In the Safari browser it’s easy to create separate windows for Work and Personal. Keep your personal windows hidden until lunchor after work.
Put your phone in airplane mode if you your work doesn’t require phone calls.
I’ve worked from home since 2010, and the flexibility to do not-work during the day is one of the best things about it, so don’t put in more hours of work than you need to!

And you’re set for life (with the added effort of maintaining it).
I used to try to surround myself with people who I thought were cool and also tried so bad to fit in. I still do feel conscious about that sometimes when I front for a person I place on a pedestal or really am infatuated with (in a platonic way).
I’ve also had friends I get easily frustrated with who point out my mistakes as jokes but I’ve realised are super flawed and insecure. It becomes a relationship where you slowly turn into a projection of them. (I’m not sure how to phrase it). And I’m the kind that forgives very easily the moment someone is nice to me.
Howeverrrrr… over the past few years and more so over the past year I found a group of people I could be open and comfortable with… and I have to say an open and fulfilling relationship with the right people and friends will make you a much better person overall. I’ve also been so inspired by the circle of friends I’ve got now.
It’s not necessarily the friends who always ask you to go out to shop or hang but the friends who you do things with and talk about anything with.
Gratefully & Gratituously,
I love my friends.

With the checkerboard at the back? That’s right. I love using them unironically. And I love pictures of rocks.
