Work Culture as an Introvert post COVID

When Covid kicked in 2020, every one moved from office culture to work from home culture. I was very few people enjoyed lockdown life.  Most people were depressed as they could not enjoy parties and get-togethers any more but for me as an introvert I enjoyed the loneliness and quiet time after a long time.

It was like heave finally heard my prayer; I no longer needed to have awkward meeting people where I have to continuously look for new topics to talk about. I could spend my time in reading and writing after long time. I kept my pseudo-extrovert character closed and enjoyed being myself.

As my Home became office now, my entire work culture changed, it was very productive initially, I could work without must distractions, able to focus more. I could spent time with family more. But as time went, I started getting depressed to monotone tasks. I started getting lazy and more tired. i stopped reading books and even simpler task become very drained me.

It started even affecting my work, I could not complete my works on time due to procrastinate and always get stressed to work on last minute.

As I started getting drained mentally and physically, I decided to have change  in it. I started forcefully doing my task. I created planned in such a way that I have different thing to do each day. If I feel lazy to do  a task , I used count from 1 to 10 by on reaching 10 I will be already started doing my task. By these steps I started overcoming my depressions and started enjoying work from home culture

So work from home was relief for me for some time but if you not take care of yourself you will fell into laziness trap that will drain your productivity and your happiness.
