Totally agree, I cook more food, learned more recipe, wash my clothes more frequently, my house is more clean and organized.
Contrasting to a 9-5 job, I would rather just order takeaways after getting back home from the office.

In the WFH situation it’s suddenly 20:00 and I’m starving and just look to snack or even go so far as to order food, but when I work away from home I have the train ride back to browse which supermarket I’ll shop at and message with a friend on how and what we’ll each be making.
One thing I do to separate work from home is to get changed. Wake up in underwear, lounge until work start alarm then get dressed/go for walk/start work - end of work alarm go for walk/get changed - helps me with the mindset of what is work and what is not.
I don’t always need to do this, just when it starts to affect me.
Or even have an external office on the property.
If you knew you can work remotely 100% of the time, that frees you up to consider cheaper locations where you can get a better house for the same rent.
You've had a year and a half to adjust. If you don't want to move, you could easily rent office space near your home. Your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency for everyone who is happier and more productive at home.
You can set up timers e.g. pomodoro and do quick chores frequently.
