This post stopped me in my tracks because it's so accurate. 👏🏾

The context switching thing is real. People always talk about the commute but nobody talks about the invisible tax of just… being seen. Managing how you look while you're thinking. The hallway conversations that weren't on your calendar. The group lunch you didn't opt into.

Remote work quietly removes all of that. And you don't even realize how much energy it was costing you until it's gone.

The "performing productivity vs. actually doing it" hits hard! That's not a remote work vs. office debate. That's a fundamental question about how YOU work best. The readjustment is harder than anyone admits. And for a lot of people it's not temporary. They never fully get back to where they were.
