Going to the office has changed my life
My 1 hour commute in train - I read my book
In the office - free coffee, beer, sparkling water, soda, snacks etc.
I move around in the office, different work stations. Super productive.
Later in the day - ping pong, pool or more work.
After work I sometimes walk around in the city, go to bars or meetups.
Back home commute - I read my book or listen to a podcast.
I come home, go to my night gym class.
Staying at home had made me so depressed, lonely even tho I was hanging out every weekend with my friends. Despite me being a quiet and shy person, talking to new people in office or just seeing people everyday has made me a lot happier person.
Even the tiniest things like seeing a tiny event - happy, sad, crazy - in a train has made me experience different moments. It gave me more things to talk about and be better socially as well.
Just to point out I work in a startup and not in a big corporation. RTO in big corporations isn’t that fun in my experience.
