  1. If you have a physical office, start going there. Your least productive day at your office is still going to be more productive than the most WFH days.

  2. Start with putting in more time. 8-10hr. Your efficiency will improve with time as you get into the groove. Eventually, you will get things done in 4-6hrs that require 10 now. Putting in more time is in your control, your efficiency and output is not.

  3. Try the Pomodoro technique. Work for 40min chunks and get a break. Eventually these chunks will increase to 2-3hrs.

PS: Your work life will suddenly flip one fine day when it becomes easy and enjoyable. But you don't know when that day will be. Till then, it's a struggle, an investment.
