I used to just be able to go get lunch, and relax / do activities on the weekend and come into a clean office and desk, fresh and ready to work.
Now my house, with my partner and I being in it almost permanently, we make a lot of mess that constantly needs cleaning. I find that gets annoying combined with longer hours.
Because we weren't home much beforehand, the apartment didn't get so dirty and just needed a light clean once a fortnight.
It's suffocating spending 100% of your time in one place. My apartment feels like a submarine at the bottom of the ocean. My productivity is somewhere down there, too. Despite all this, I drag on, just biding my time for that glorious day when I can get inoculated for COVID.
For example I only have one cup, one bowl and plate. If you have multiple items, you generate more mess and are less incentivised to clean things you don’t need.
(More than you would be for the corresponding takeout that cooking from home is replacing?)
