"I've worked from home since 2018, and since that time, I've perfected my weekly routine and don't typically deviate from it. As a natural homebody and full-time freelancer, I'm grateful that I get to stay in my space whether I'm working or not, but to keep things from feeling too mundane or repetitive I decided to create my own personal "Fridays off" policy, which includes keeping my Friday nights to myself."
"For many people, Fridays are the start to the weekend and a day to blow off steam from the work or school week. That can mean going out, coming home late, and perhaps jam-packing the day with all kinds of (fun!) plans. However, after spending most of my 20s doing this, I figured it was time for a change - especially when I started working from home."
"Before that, I was at university full time and would spend weeknight evenings studying and weekend evenings (including Fridays) going out with friends. Both of these chapters in my life felt like they happened to me, and not like I had any control or even choice (I have to go to work; I have to go to school; I have to go out when I'm not in school). Working from home gave me freedom I didn't know I could have,"
Since 2018 the person has worked from home and developed a consistent weekly routine that is rarely changed. As a natural homebody and full-time freelancer, the person values staying in their own space regardless of work status. To prevent life from feeling mundane or repetitive, the person established a personal "Fridays off" policy that preserves Friday evenings for solitude and rest. Earlier stages of life involved long commutes, quick dinners, and frequent Friday nights out during university and early career. Remote work introduced unexpected freedom and flexibility, enabling deliberate scheduling choices and a redesigned week that prioritizes personal time and balance.
