Time doesn't exist when you work remote

Transcript

Time doesn't exist when you work remote. I've been working from home for about three weeks now and I knew it was going to be obviously a big difference between working fully in office and fully remote. But one big thing I've noticed is I just forget to eat. And also, oh, there's my food right there. Also, time like kind of doesn't exist. Like you are doing your work and then you look up and it's like, oh, it's 3:00 p.m. I don't know why, but in the office I was so much more aware of what time it was and I was always looking forward to noon because I could eat my lunch and it was how I broke up my day. Now, I just like work, work, work and then I'm like, oh, I haven't fed myself today. Let me go heat up some food. It's so interesting. I'm about to be skinny.
