Today is the fourth anniversary of the last day I worked in an office. #WFH

Since the weather has finally become more fall-like this weekend (highs in the low 70s°F), I decided to work outside t this morning.

It was wonderful. Nice, cool breeze, fresh air. Sure, I didn't take my external keyboard or two extra monitors with me, but I did fine without them.

But, after working in a lawn chair for four hours, instead of my usual desk chair, my back is aching really badly.

I'm one of those software engineers. Thankfully, my current job is a fully remote company: there isn't an office to bring is back to.

I've thought a lot lately about whether or not I miss working in the office. There are a few things that I miss about going to work. Not the commute itself, but the time to myself, the time that is just mine. I miss that a bit.

But I don't need an office job for that. I can go for a drive, or a bike ride to get that.

And I absolutely don't miss being in the office to work. I haven't lost out on anything. I still socialize with my coworkers, even if less. I still collaborate on work, via Zoom, and I do that more effectively than I did in the office.

For me, there is nothing better about being in the office.

Do you ever take a power nap during your work day?

Sometimes, I'll set a short alarm (about ten minutes), close my eyes, lean back in my chair, and take a really short nap. Does anybody else do this, or something like that, to refresh themselves during the day?

Comment with other suggestions on how to quickly refresh your brain in the middle of a work day.
