Two Modes of Work From Home

After 13 months of working from home, I have identified two modes under which I function. There is no in-between.


Mode 1:
Wake up half an hour before my alarm. Get a shower and breakfast. Crack open my laptop at 7:15am marveling at how great working at home is because I can get started so much earlier when I don't have to commute. I am a great WFH employee!

Mode 2:
Hit the snooze alarm until 8am. Unmute all the alerts on my phone so coworkers can reach me if needed. Stay in bed another 15 minutes before slowly rolling out of bed. Skip the shower. Crack open my laptop at 9am marveling at how I am able to work this well under such stressful conditions. I am a great WFH employee for toughing this out!
