I accidentally celebrated my workaversary in Paris, France

February 26, 2024

Transitioning to a remote work setup was akin to exploring uncharted waters; it promised the allure of flexibility, yet came with the waves of self-management challenges. Like many, the pandemic flung me into this modern work modality. It was a medley of excitement and a dose of reality checks – adapting was non-negotiable.

How I celebrated

The first order of business was carving out a workspace amidst my humble abode. A designated workspace acted as a physical boundary, signaling the brain when it was time to switch on the professional gears. Contrary to the conventional 9-5, remote work blurred the lines between work hours and personal time. It was essential to delineate a work schedule, albeit flexible, to maintain a semblance of normalcy.
