How do you fix an unhealthy life routine? I have always considered myself a “night owl” but lately I feel like I’m missing out on life. I like my job, I want to keep it – I’m now on probation – but since the beginning of the pandemic and working from home/hybrid working have become a thing, I’ve trapped myself in an unhealthy routine and I struggle to fit in with the rest of the world’s circadian rhythm.
I snooze my alarm (if I even hear it), go back to bed, start work late, forget to have breakfast and/or lunch, finish work late and sleep late. When I do start work early and the time to “switch off” arrives, I feel guilty that all my tasks aren’t fully ironed out, so I keep working until late and inevitably slide back into my unhealthy habits.
