Combat isolation, maintain productivity, and create healthy boundaries when working from home
Your commute is ten steps from bed to desk. You have flexibility but struggle to turn off work mode. The lines between professional and personal life blur until you cannot tell where one ends and the other begins.
You miss the casual conversations with coworkers. You feel invisible on video calls. You work harder to prove you are actually working. Loneliness creeps in even when you chose this life. Your friends think you have it made, but they do not see the isolation.
Journaling creates structure in an unstructured day. A way to process thoughts you would normally share with coworkers. To set intentions that keep you focused. To recognize when you need human connection. To celebrate wins when no one else sees them.
