First ill preface that I know i am REALLY spoiled to even have a wfh job. Im honestly amazed something like this exists.
Which leads me to my question. Im good at my job, its a great company, I get nothing but good feedback. But honestly, its easy. Really if anyone wanted to learn, they could do it. I feel guilty pretty much everyday at how easy it is. But the fact that its easy also makes it really difficult to put in 45 hours of real work. I try to use some of the time for educational videos or something related to work but honestly with my adhd mind, 9 hours is a lot unless im SUPER busy.
All my previous work has been jobs running around all day, fixing problems, managing people, which I dont want to go back to necessarily but sometimes I miss it. I work very well in chaos.
I have tried meds to zoink me out and they do work, but I prefer not to be dependent.
I hear you friendo, as someone who wfh more than I go into the office.
as long as I do what I am asked to do promptly and I take care of anything that comes up, I dont stress like i did when I started this position.
my previous job had me working in the office all days, where I had to make decisions in seconds… not fun. this one is the complete opposite, where I have a list of duties to complete before the end of the sprint. as long as I hit my mark and take care of anything that comes up, my team and boss are both happy.
its really hard in the beginning, but maybe talk to your boss about it? I was feeling the same way as you, and the conversation with my boss did wonders for how I view my work. good luck!
